I have to say I'm laughing to hard over here I had to make a potty trip before responding. Lynn, I seriously had "run away! run away!" stuck in my head for like a week now! Now I'm going to have to watch it tonight LOL
I have to say Holly: That thing is a little creepy looking LOL
I'd probably go biserk too.
Alex, Jager did the same thing as Naja. I had him on his lead tied to the tree (he's got 25' to run in my yard and the neighbors driveway) while I was putting up the Christmas lights. He was okay with the lights and my little cow (screw reindeer! We have a light up cow!). My neighbor plugged in an 8' snowman and you would have thought that the ground open and the hounds of h*ll were let loose in the yard. I have NEVER heard him to upset and scared all at the same time. The little blow up penguin was bad enough at WROOWROOWROOOW
ROOWROOOF but Frosty is a demon apparently. I had to help Raul fix Frosty since his sign was twisted and he was fixing the anchors, you would have thought that I was playing with 14 different dogs at one time because he was sniffing me up one side and down the other.
Kathy - I have 'friady dog when it comes to the washbasket. I've never tormented him or put him in a wash basket but that white plastic thing comes out of the laundry room and slides on the floor towards him and you would think your chasing him with fireworks.
However, I must add that while putting up the tree my mom was repotting some plants on the pool deck so I had the screen door shut so we could talk. Jager starts whimping to go potty. I have to open the baby gate between the kitchen and the living room to let him out. Well, protector-of-the-yard spots a squirrel before he even gets to the back door. Normally (sans-squirrel) he'll walk slow and bounce of the screen and look "Mom, the force field is great but I have to go!" If the glass in shut he'll stand there. Oh no. Evil squirrel caused me to plan on replacing my screen door come spring time. He ran full speed through all 16" of the living room, through the screen, around the pool and to the back fence.
The squirrel wasn't the only think unwanted in the yard Saturday!
I was able to fix part of it but I have about 6" of screen that isn't tucked in and the rubber gasket that doesn't fit right either. Ugh. Anyone want a squirrel chasing-screen-door-breaking-'Fraidy-Dog?
He's slept pretty much since then. Guess that squirrel gave him a work out!
