[Doodlebug]

Thanks for your responses. I have an idea now that it might be that it is shiny and he sees his reflection like TatumsMom suggested. The tape measure and wedding rings are probably shiny too. hmmmm...

I noticed that my pups barked and barked when the neighbors put up a scarecrow in their yard at Halloween. They also barked like crazy last Christmas when another neighbor put some reindeer with lights on their lawn. After they were taken down my pups settled down.

This summer the neighbor 2 doors down put 2 huge fake birds on their lawn and that also upset the pups. Thankfully they are used to the birds now and no longer bark at them. Now I am thinking they do not like for anything to change from what they are used to. Maybe that is why some pups don't like the vacuum cleaner or the trash bags. Maybe they just aren't used to seeing them there all the time and it is upsetting to them when their environment changes. That's a thought....
