What's your's and your dog's greatest fear?

Ritz459 · 12-11-2004, 05:29 PM

I don't like heights. They freak me out big time. I also don't like old dolls in attics. :shiver: Ever since I saw that Chuckie movie when I was 6 (I wasn't supposed to be watching it) I've been paraniod of old dolls. (I even thought my American Girl Doll was going to come alive and kill me when I was little...... :shiver: )

Rose= Rose doesn't like loud noises. What I think she is scared of the most is Thunder (although we are getting better with that), gunshots, and little small white dogs. (I don't get that one....)

Blackie= I don't know what his fear is. I guess he is fearless!

(Unless you count the vet! lol) His deepest fear is probably that we will forget to pet and feed him. (He LOVES attention and he LOVES food! lol)

gaddylovesdogs · 12-11-2004, 05:40 PM

Hmm...what is my greatest fear? That's a hard one. I don't really know what I'm afraid of....I guess of being murdered or something like that.

Colby is terrified of um...................of not getting as many treats as the other dogs. (CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING!!!)

May is absolutely terrified of loud noises. Thunder to be exact, sometimes when it's raining she'll freak out because there is a little thunder or she thinks some is coming

.

Tippy doesn't like bigger dogs. Once we saw a GIGANTIC Rottie at PetSmart and she just slinked past him, trying to be invisible. She usually acts like she's a big macho girl that ain't afraid o' nuttin', when really she's a big cuddle bug.

DarknessDivine · 12-11-2004, 07:16 PM

I'm terrified of heights, spiders and drowning or chokeing to death.
My dogs..hmmm Dracs is afraid of slipping and falling..Mini afraid if strangers and Zeus..nothing so far.

Global Paw · 12-11-2004, 07:29 PM

My greatest fear: Deep, dark water...its worse if its in a lake

Quincy's greatest fear: the vacuum...

Pugdawg1 · 12-11-2004, 07:39 PM

My fear.. I guess would be heights. Although I LOVE to fly, have been up in helicopters and various airplanes and love it.. when it comes to something like say... a ladder. Or a Roof. Or being up in a tree. It spooks me because I know that if I fall, I figure I'll break something and it'll hurt, whereas if I am in a plane crash, I'll just be dead. lol

LabLuver22 · 12-11-2004, 07:40 PM

My fears: loud noises (a biggie for me, I can't STAND them), heights (but, oddly enough, only if I'm on the top story of a building or something; I love being high on a mountain or in a plane), being murdered, and really, really deep water. I remember I was sea kayaking last summer, and everything was all fine and dandy, and then the guide suddenly announced that the bottom of the lake was eight-five feet below us! I flipped out.

Gabby's fears: thunder, the treadmill, going into water deeper than her elbows, and getting her nails trimmed--I have such a hard time keeping her nails short! Once, she was having her nails trimmed at the vet's office, and she was making such a fuss that they had to strap her down on the operating table! (and they charged me twenty extra dollars for "difficulty")

Trish's fear: That someday, somehow, she'll leave a kibble or two in her dish and walk away from it.

rottie_lvr · 12-11-2004, 07:58 PM

i am terrifed of heights, and when i hear creapy noises when im home alone.
Lucky is terrifed of my cat charcoal, water deeper then his ankles( isnt that weird because arent labs supposed to like swimming), dosnt like being alone when its dark outside, and he doesnt like riding in the back of the truck. He is also afraid of thunder, loud noises, and gun shots.

flyndog · 12-11-2004, 08:23 PM

Cozy is fearless. She tries to kill the vacuum cleaner! My greatest fear is her getting eaten by something. So she is never off-lead.

Crossfire Bulldogs · 12-11-2004, 09:01 PM

Me: A fear of drowning.

The Bulldogs: Gun shots - They don't like it when I or the neighbor target practice so we tend to keep it to a few rounds only. A few rounds they bark a tad but nothing bad, too many and they start to freak even though the range is an acre from the house.

IceyBlueSibes · 12-11-2004, 11:43 PM

My fears: ROACHES! (eeewwww) I am absolutely terrified of them... losing my boyfriend ( lol

) and falling. I hate the feel of falling, so I don't go on the rides at any fairs or carnivals that have drops... :scared:

Sarge: The hose, baths, the board that blocks off the kitchen, the vacuum, the rake, thunder, fire works, slamming things on the ground, getting in trouble, and his mommy (me) not comming home one day *I don't think he was socialized well at all when he was a pup... explains his over protectiveness*

Sheiba: the vacuum, the board that blocks off the kitchen, the broom, not being the princess of the house....

Denali: Hmm, she really doesn't have any fears... well atleast not yet. Probably her fear would be her brother and sister wouldn't be here anymore, or her family would disappear...

milo · 12-12-2004, 04:29 AM

My fear is:Spiders,Hight's,doll's(chucky)oh and scary things like ghost's and vampires and silly things like that!!!

Luckys fear is:Loud noises,and the vets oh and missing out on things!!

Milo fear is: Im not really sure he might be fearless!!!

oh no he's scared of Ballons!!!

metalmorphosis · 12-12-2004, 10:39 AM

Mine...drowning and burning to death.

Hoof...baths!

Cleo...doesn't really have any as yet, she's just a big bouncy ball of fun!

Barrett · 12-12-2004, 12:16 PM

I am scared of water....not only of drowning but also what might be in the water that I can't see. LOL

Bailey is scared of big dogs that run up to her. She flips over on her back when approached by any dog bigger than her.

Ritz459 · 12-12-2004, 03:00 PM

Everybody seems to be scared of Spiders! lol
My littles sister hates really big black hairy spiders. I don't like them a whole bunch, but I'm not terrified of them.

Rush is scared of Big dogs. (As in, Dogs bigger than a Schnauzer.) Oh, and any loud obnoxious person.
Abby is scared of me covering up her cage in the dark (I'm assuming that is becuase she can't see me to well) and anybody moving really fast or being really loud right by her cage.

RedHotDobe · 12-12-2004, 03:27 PM

My fear: Dying an unnatural death. Other than that, I can't think of anything else.

Duke's fears: Clapping, thunder, black labs, strange men, the dark, being alone, me leaving him and never coming back. He has a lot I think.
