See it makes sense when you explain it to me Nancy. He is also scared of the noise the extension cord makes when it moves on the floor. We have never had a fire around him, he was around a camp fire- This was a couple years ago he didn’t seem to mind it. The first house fire we had was a couple weeks ago- I honestly think he was scared of the popping. Since he is scared of fireworks that makes sense to me. I remember one of my cats use to lay right next to the fireplace lol..
I do notice now that most of the things he is scared of is noises. Nobody has hit him with the cord or handle, I did drop it one time when he was on a walk, it didn’t hit him- not even close, when it hit the ground that’s when he jumped.
No I have never seen him scared of any human, nor child. He doesn’t really like kids if they are too loud, he will want to get away from them. Yes anytime he is scared he will go in his crate. I have his crate its like this one, same size
http://deeprunkennel.com/wp-content/..._dog_crate.jpg in my closet. I put pillows down for his bed and a big throw blanket, he also has a couple little blankets in there, I call it his man cave! I also have another blanket on top- so it kinda covers it. He loves it! He sleeps in there at night I will lock him in I will also shut the closet doors, I will leave it open just a tad. So during the day, the door to my bedroom is open and so is the closet- he can go in and out as he pleases.
Sometimes if something scares him and I don’t notice I will find him shaking in the corner. What should I do when I find him scared and shaking? DH always says I made him this way, he said I baby him! I told DH we are not going to have any fires bc it scares Pnut too much, DH said that’s why he is scared bc I don’t let him deal with it….? I told him he is my baby If I can stop something from scaring him I will!
