Smokey is afraid of NOTHING. Fireworks? No problem. Hairdryer? As long as it stays away from the face, no problem. Sticking your head in a bowl of food belong to a dog 5 times your size while he growls at you? No problem, eat away!!

Reggie is afraid of EVERYTHING. Fireworks are horrible, or anything that sounds remotely close to fireworks. He will jump in the shower with me if he hears them. During July we find Reggie in very odd places. Strange objects and sounds are also terrifying. Balloons are among the ultimate evil, the vacuum cleaner is rather scarey also.

Nebo is the in-between dog.........he's afraid of the vacuum cleaner. That's the only object I can think of. He doesn't mind hair dryers at all....and I use the big strong (and loud) force dryer on him. I don't think he's really experienced fireworks yet. He is afraid of random people on a random basis. He'll be fine with one person, and terrified of the next (for no apparent reason) within minutes. He's ok with most people, and rather friendly to some. Others he hides behind my legs. Of course, nobody is as scarey as my friends brother, Craig....I've never seen a dog so afraid of a person (there's no logic to this either).
