Oh, jeez, well let's see, LOL...
Jackson is scared of gun shots, loud thunder, and fireworks. Those are fairly common.
But he is very quirky. In general, he's a pretty confident dog, but his weird little quirks come out every now and then...
My mom set off the smoke alarm once while cooking in the oven. So now Jackson associates smoke with the noise. For a while, he was terrified whenever the oven was on, but he seems to have gotten over that (and will chill in the kitchen with us, even while cooking). But now smoke still freaks him out so if we're having a fire out back in our fire pit, he will not come out. He also does not like the sparks and popping noises the fire makes.
My brother knocked a TV tray (that stands on the ground) over once. He's been scared of it for about a year now. Any time it barely moves or makes a sound, he gets up and walks away.
He doesn't like fly swatters. Or killing of bugs. There was ONE time, probably 3 years ago now, that I was trying to kill a fly in my room and knocked a lamp over by accident. Ever since, he gets really spooked if he even SEES a bug (because he assumes I'm going to kill it). And yeah when my step-mom uses the fly swatter, he will go hide under the bed until she's done.
I'm sure there's a few more I am forgetting lol. |
