Glazby absolutely FREAKED out yesterday evening.  At what??  At a tiny piece of my Twirl wrapper!! 

I'd given into temptation and got myself a Twirl and settled down to eat it.  Glaz came over (food about - what dog doesn't!!), went to jump on the sofa next to me and in mid-air spotted this piece of wrapper and almost sumersaulted away from the sofa and then landed growling, hackles up and really upset!!

Even when he'd landed and I tried to call him over to show him it was only a bit of paper he was anchoring his paws in and would only look from a distance and if I moved, he'd freak again!!

It took him about an hour to actually come back over to the sofa again!!

Don't know why he did this - does anyone else's dogs freak out at daft things?

lol yeah my labs are bomb proof but my staff bitch candy barks at the fan, the curtains blowing in the breeze, the hoover, washing machine etc etc!!lol

Maddie goes mad at anyone wearing a cap or woolly hat ! She barks at the hoover but she only wants to 'play' with it :D

Ellie is a very sensitive goldie (if there is ever such a thing!) and can be nervous about a few things but her worst is balloons. One day we were walking down the street and there was a car parked in a drive way with a couple of balloons tied onto it. I walked past thinking nothing of it and suddenly ellie ran into the road in blind panic. If she had been off lead, she would have run for the hills. I had no idea that it would bother her before.

Don't talk to Copper about Twirls!!  I used to buy him one after we went to the corner shop (until a good person on here told me they were actually poisonous to dogs - I honestly didn't know that).  He absolutely loved them, so now if he sees a Twirl wrapper he goes completely bananas to get a bit of chocolate (different reason from your dog) - would balance a chair on his nose if he could.  I avoid sparkly purple paper at all costs but always keep a couple of bite size bonios in my pocket, just in case.

Thanks all for your replies!!  :D  Glazby also likes to attack the hoover though we've got a new Dyson now and he's not quite so brave with that!!

I thought it was funny that this is the dog that could shred newspapers for England but he was petrified of a tiny piece of my Twirl wrapper!!!!

He's now being called Glazby the Woose!!!  :D

Glazby the woose!  I call mine Copper nob (a term of endearment :D) (there was in fact a company called Coppernob way back yonder!!  Sold clothes I believe)

Its amazing how many nicknames we come up with for them isn't it?!?

Glaz amongst others is also known as Wagatha Christie on account of his waggy tail!!  He's a super slueth too really!!  ;o)

Copper nob though.....bless him!!!  :D
