    Sassy isn't really afraid of anything other then UPS trucks, semi's, etc. When we take her in the car and we pass by a certain type of truck she will cower and cry until my mom drives away from it. Sassy doesn't like alot of things, but she doesn't show fear around them, she just doesn't like them lol.

    Klo is petrified of thunder, lightening. firecrackers, flashlights and CAMERAS. She'll lay at the bottom of the steps to the family room for safety. She used to be afraid of "tinny" sounds..aluminum foil, pots and pans but got over that quickly.

    (except for a soda can full of coins)

    The Codmeister was fearless!



    I've been Boooo'd!

    Mister is scarred of the ironing board. Whenever I do laundry I like to iron my jeans afterwards. And I swear he sees me take out the iron and he puts his ears back head down tucks the tail and goes to hide in his "house"(its a crate) until I am done. And if I collapse the ironing board itself too quickly and it makes that noise forget it he won't come out wihout some sweet talking and cookies close by.

    Charlie is pretty much terrified of new people, and even if he knows you or you're around a lot, it takes him a LOOOOONG time to warm up to you. But once he does, he's your buddy for life, even if you don't come around for months at a time, he'll remember you and come running when you come to visit

    Other than that, they really aren't afraid of anything because if they start to display fearful behavior of a certain object, sound, or situation, I just ignore them. I don't tell them "no", I don't baby or coddle them, and I certainly don't tease them with whatever is scaring them. Eventually they'll learn to investigate whatever it is, and either learn to live with it or stay away from it lol

    Tango is afraid of thunder, wind, and just loud noises in general.

    Frankie is terrified of loud bangs such as guns, fireworks, or things randomly falling. If any of those things happen she becomes a velcro dog and will shake like crazy.

    Riley is afraid of anything that moves if she doesn't recognize it. If I walk in carrying something over my head it will freak her out. She's a big chicken dog with anything new.

    Boone is afraid of the trash compactor in our kitchen. Kersey is the weird one. She's afraid of anything that moves on the floor, whether it makes noise or not...this includes the vaccum (most dogs are afraid of vacuums), the Swiffer Wet Jet, and the dry mop. I may have one of the few dogs who's afraid of a Swiffer Wet Jet and a dry mop and I have no idea why she's afraid of these things
