What's your baby scared of? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Neesa can be such a scaredy cat! She gets scared a bit too easily I think.

Things she's scared of is a clap of my hands and when I shuffle my feet really fast near her. She'll run for cover when that happens.

Baby is afraid of nothing

I have to keep my eye's on her all the time she will attack anything (the sweeper, the broom, the cat, the rottwieler across the street

)

Willie isn't scared of anything!! He will try and attack whatever his little heart desires. I should have named him evel knievel because he loves to jump off of things I have to watch him closely, he is only 10 weeks old, and I don't want him getting hurt!!

Toto is skittish at new sounds and things and always proceeds with caution. The only thing we have found that truly frightens her is two of our grandchildren. Noone can understand it because she is all over all other children!! Children aren't allowed to hold her but we let them sit on the floor and if she chooses .... she can climb all over them. They really enjoy her especially after she learned to "fetch"! They really tire her out with that! But, these two little boys [aged 6 & 5] just terrify her! We have tried everything we can think of to encourage her to like them [let them offer her favorite treat, etc.] but she will have no part of them. I feel so sorry for the boys because they tell her all the time how much they love her! Evidently one of them did something to her which she didn't like and we didn't see. I hope she will eventually get over whatever it is .... otherwise, she is a brave little girl!

Otis is afraid of the Swiffer, but he is NOT afraid of the vacuum cleaner. Isn't that odd?

He's also afraid when we fry things in a pan. I guess the crackling and popping noises scare him.

I have some neighbor kids around that same age, and Otis doesn't like them either. They're a bit too noisy and rough, and if I was only 7 pounds, I would be scared too.

You guys sure have some courageous Yorkies! Junebug, your Otis picture is GREAT! Do you have a bigger picture of it?

Yes, I have a whole bunch. That one is the best, though, because you can't see all his eye boogers in it!

fasteddie · 03-29-2004, 05:28 PM

Eye boogers or not, that's one creative Mommy he has! Though we do some pretty bad things to Yoda clothes-wise... :P

That could be the problem! These two are loud and though they are generally well-behaved they tend to be louder especially when they first arrive. They live in Birmingham and don't get to visit as often as the other children so they are always really excited! Come to think of it ... they kinda scare ME sometimes!!

Thanks!!

Scappy is afraid of 1) plastic bags like for groceries or trash bags, 2) laundry baskets of any shape, size, or color (because my husband put him in one for a few minutes while he was a pup), 3) a certain pair or Nike sandals that he was playing with one time and the velcro got caught on his fir, 4) coat hangers, one was laying on the couch and he jumped up on the couch and it popped up and hit him (like stepping on a rake)

My Hailey is not scared of anything.

Ilovebaby · 03-11-2005, 11:13 AM

Well Baby is afraid of the weirdest things, and some normal things too! She is terrified of the vacuum cleaner, she hides in the bedroom shaking like it might come and find her and eat her? Weird I think. Plus she is afraid of coat hangers... no reason why, she just attacks them while I try and hang clothes up. Also, she goes crazy when we spray airfreshener she goes crazy, I think she must either be afraid of them, or she just hates them. She also goes crazy when anyone touches the blinds? She's just very silly. Oh and she dislikes all children, she runs as far away from them as she can get, or hides in my lap.

browniesmom622 · 03-11-2005, 11:23 AM

brownie is scared of the vacuum wire not the vacuum and he hates boys from 9 to 15 i have to leep him away from them he goes right to bite them

loki · 03-11-2005, 11:34 AM

Loki is in general quite fearless, he isn't afraid of loud traffic, or big dogs or children. He is afraid of the vacuum cleaner- I have never met a dog who was not afraid of the vacuum cleaner. He is afraid of something weird though. If you put a plate with a bit of leftovers on the floor and the fork is on it- he runs- he is scared of forks...or plates with forks, we're not sure. But if you try to put one near him he either backs off completely or approaches very cautiously, then runs away.
