| Maybe it's the heavy tags hanging on his collar?? Dooie is afraid of his leash and collar, but loves going for walks once we get going. Like if we say "Wanna go for a walk?", he lays down, and crawls away. Isn't that weird? It's so funny because he has been spoiled, loved and snuggled like crazy all his life, never left at a kennel, never left with anyone but me and my mother (who is even more sweet to him) but totally acts like someone has hurt him or something. Silly little guy.... |

| Sarge is afraid of the... dreaded vacuum cleaner !! When I vacuum someone has to hold him or if there is no one else at home he will run and hide as far away as possible. He even starts shaking when I start picking things up and he just thinks I am going to vacuum. Don't know why---he's fearless of everything else Lexi on the other hand is afraid of NOTHING.

| Dooie is not so much afraid of the vaccum but he attacks it and goes crazy, so we also have to hold him, or sometimes, i just put him in a bedroom with the door shut so i can clean in peace for 10 minutes. |

| Lacy has the strangest fear... If something looks out of place, she will be scared of it. Like one time we went to the lake and the parking lot was white rocks, but one rock was black for some reason... she saw that rock and started freaking out and barking at it and lunging at it. When I figured out what it was, I picked up the rock to show it to her and she freaked out more. She even tinkled when I got it close to her. She isn't scared of anything "normal"... It's only things that seem out of place. I hate to admit it, but sometimes when we realize what it is that she is scared of it's pretty funny. |

| Lola is scared of anything really loud, and leaves outdoors. Toby runs and hides from bubble wrap or anyone with a towel on their head. Who knows?

| Lacis fear Little kids who move to quick , she cowers and moves slowly and sometimes barks, I have exposed her to little kids alot but for some reason she really isnt a fan of little kids... I have little kids in my neighboorhood who I consistantly say " please dont approach her like that" , please move slow, please dont try to pick her up... I say it every single day.... I think most of the kids have selective hearing because they do it the next walk outside... I think she may sense my own fears too, I just picture the kids tripping and landing on her or squeezing her and her ending up really hurt...

YT 500 Club Member | Balloons: Since they grow out of nothing, and seem to move on their own due to drafts. Fireworks: We set off fireworks at a friend's house, and Meg has shaking so badly. I had her inside, bundled in a huge blanket, and she didn't move, just shook. Poor thing. Conquered fear: the sound of velcro!
