I meant to add, too. I even have to be careful when I am having phone conversations. If I say something like "Mom is coming home soon" to whoever I am talking to, he often runs to the door looking for my mom. Clearly we order pizza too much because he does the same thing when I mention the word pizza. He knows that means someone will be at the door soon lol.
He also remembers everything. One time the smoke alarm went off because the oven was smoking. Now he hates ALL smoke. He won't even go near a fire anymore because he associates it with smoke alarm.
years ago, I was trying to swat a fly and kill it and accidentally knocked over a lamp. It scared the crap out of him and he still hates fly swatters. Even if he sees a fly flying around, he hides, even if I don't pay attention or get the swatter.
Whereas a lot of the things that bother Jax will also bother the other dogs, they forget about it. Jax never forgets lol. |
