Is your yorkie afraid of flying bugs? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

LOL I had to laugh at this post because I pictured Big Boy Buddy jumping
out of the way of a bug. Yes, my big boy is afraid of bugs.

If he sees one in the grass, I swear he shivers and jumps out of the way of it. It's just hysterical.

Afraid?! Jackson LOVES flying bugs... he thinks they are there for him to chase! LOL. He has sooo much fun chasing butterflies, bees, flies, whatever he can see. He looks like a bunny rabbit when he chases them.

LOL Dexter is a winter baby and is just now discovering flying critters. At first he was afraid (a big fuzzy caterpillar dropped on him from a tree and you would have thought it was killing him) but now we have to leash him when we take him outside so he can do his business first or else he turns into a "great white hunter" and all he will do is go chase bugs. Gotta love the ADD there... lol

Hilarious!! Love your videos!

I've tried really hard to teach Kacee to stay away from bugs, because of all of the wasps, bees, hornets as well as snakes that are out there. I just hope she remembers longer than my last warning.

havent experienced this yet! But mine was following a bee, she seemed to be amazed!...

Lizzie07 · 04-26-2010, 12:41 PM

Lizzie doesn't seem to have a problem with bugs, will sniff ants and roly-polies, try to catch flies, but she won't go out if she thinks there's a toad on the patio!

PenniesMom · 04-26-2010, 12:45 PM

bchgirl · 04-26-2010, 12:46 PM

Ramsey is terrified of flies. If one gets inside...I have to hunt it down, kill it and prove to her...it's not only merely dead, it's really most sincerely dead.

Melcakes · 04-26-2010, 12:49 PM

Zoey is not one bit afraid of any bug or my huge cat for that matter nor the vacuum (she loves it)! She's a very little girl too so you think she would be frightened easily. She chases after bumble bees, buterflies, flies, worms, you name it and tries to eat them any chance she gets!

lol I let Kacee out in front of me last night and she saw the frog before I did. She made a run by and bit in the air at it. I'm fussing at her because I didn't want her to get into the habit of that with anything creepy and crawly.

misslissa · 04-26-2010, 02:24 PM

nope no way my fur kids all learned from the chi-mix that bugs are tasty but only if they fly and wings are the best part. they all jump in the air after a fly and then chase each other off to see who gets it first. this however is terrifying me because we have a honey bee nest off of our porch this year and i cannot have it removed the local game warden wont let me
