Rocket Posted May 24, 2011 #4 Posted May 24, 2011 look again are you blind:Cool_cool36: Nope, I'm not & here is the proof in your first post "Last edited by saddlebum; Today at 11:30 PM."
Hummingbird Posted May 24, 2011 #6 Posted May 24, 2011 It's a shame - some animals just can't deal with certain noises. I had a mongrel that would kill groundhogs every time he saw one but cringed at the sound of thunder.
Mel Posted May 24, 2011 #7 Posted May 24, 2011 --- looks to me like that faithful animal felt sorry for it's master and is merely trying organize that mess. You can tell by the facial expression that it is as proud as can be of it's accomplishment.
Yama Mama Posted May 24, 2011 #8 Posted May 24, 2011 First of all, I think it obvious that your dog was going to look up the latest weather forecast and satelite, doplar information on your computer. At least that is what it appears to be on the photos. Our little dog Cooper (a bichon) usually jumps up on our bed for safety in a storm, or simply sticks like glue to me. He also shakes violently until it is over. I love terriers. I used to have Wire Hair Terriers when I was a kid. Yama Mama
Flyinfool Posted May 24, 2011 #9 Posted May 24, 2011 Just do some simple sound desensitizing exercises like we do for hunting dogs. My dog as a pup was terrified of loud noises. Now just barely bats an eye for fireworks or thunder. But the dog on the desk is funny............
Trader Posted May 24, 2011 #10 Posted May 24, 2011 Other than the dog standing on the desk, it looks much like mine usually does!
painterman67 Posted May 24, 2011 #11 Posted May 24, 2011 yeah we got what we call chicken dogs. Our waterbed sets a little more than a foot of the wall behaind the head board and both our dogs totalling 130 lbs go get in it. We joke and call it there cave. David
SilvrT Posted May 24, 2011 #12 Posted May 24, 2011 You really need to teach that dog to stop leaving your computer work area so messy and some simple tricks on how to clear the screen properly and quickly when he's downloading naughty doggie stuff.... :stickpoke: :rotfl:
chabicheka Posted May 24, 2011 #13 Posted May 24, 2011 my little buddy is also terrified by the sounds of fireworks and thunder. starts shaking and panting and is right at my feet all the time. feel so sorry for him when that happens...

This was, after flying to Ontario for a course & attending Marcarl's meet, while over there.
bendtdj Posted May 24, 2011 #15 Posted May 24, 2011 We have a fierce-coward at our house as well, a whipett/german shepherd mix. If Lady is outside finding just the right spot to do her thing and a leaf blows across the grass, she runs to the house. But, if someone were to try to hurt Doreen, they would pull back a bloody stump. She does not like storms either. We got her from the humane society in August, 2004 and she has been a great addition to the family. Dave
Richie R Posted May 25, 2011 #17 Posted May 25, 2011 My German wire hair was a fierce hunter and guard dog. As soon as you took a gun out of the cabinet she was ready to go. But she knew a storm was coming before you did and would just shake and be glued to you for the duration. Richie R
van avery Posted May 25, 2011 #18 Posted May 25, 2011 I've got a german shepherd the same way if there is a storm or gun shots he tends to go a little nuts. The vet told me to try a thing called THUNDER SHIRT, It's like swaddling a baby. Make them feel more secure. Was about $35 bucks. Seems to have settled hojm down some. http://www.thundershirt.com/ Good luck mine has tore the trim off the back door trying to get away. We have not have any real rain since January, No real thunder storms either so have not had a good test yet.

He sure shamed my Airedale. --- looks to me like that faithful animal felt sorry for it's master and is merely trying organize that mess. You can tell by the facial expression that it is as proud as can be of it's accomplishment. He even put it in three piles 1-stuff to keep 2- stuff to keep and 3- stuff to keep, now if that had been my wife ther would be no organized piles at all.........come to think of it, there just wouldn't be anything at all.
Marcarl Posted May 26, 2011 #20 Posted May 26, 2011 there just wouldn't be anything at all. Ya and then what would you do all day,,,, if you weren't looking for something that was just there the last time you seened it.
saddlebum Posted May 27, 2011 Author #21 Posted May 27, 2011 Ya and then what would you do all day,,,, if you weren't looking for something that was just there the last time you seened it. go to your place and see if youse gots one
