What is your boxer afraid of? If anything...

Austin too, is scared of trash bags, but only when you shake them to get air in so you can put them in the trash can.

Visually all three will freak out if you are carrying something odd. I came how with a new rug for the living room. It was rolled up and 6 feet long. They all three went nuts. The do the same thing when DH can bee seen outside carrying the weed wackier.

Remus hates the water. Are any of your boxers big swimmers? I've noticed at the dog park that most of the boxer adults will only walk in chest deep. Remus only got in once and realized instantly that he hated it. A friend of ours was puppy-sitting for us while we went to a wedding shower (our friend loves puppy sitting. He's single and he says Remus attracts all the ladies). Anyway, he said that when he walked Remus by the pool, he planted the brakes and started backing up. It's weird because he's actually gotten to the point he enjoys a good bath. He just sits there in the tub.

Dillon is freaked out by parked motorcycles. Not the running one's just parked.

Also, he is affraid of the wind machines that have the huge windsock on them that's a body with arms that sway back and forth, they usually have them at car dealers or outside cell phone places. When we got our car, we walked to the outdoor shopping center just down the road and went by two of these things and Dillon flipped out. It's the first time I had seen his hackles all the way up from the back of his neck and even on his little nub and he didn't calm down for a very long time.

Last but not least, coyotes.

My list could go on forever Chico is scared of--------

trash bags
some of the kids toys
anything that is where it sould not be (new purse on the table)
cardboard boxes
his reflection
a new collar
a towel that may be left in the floor from one of the kids
grocery bags

I was begining to think he was crazy or something, like he was the only one. I know his list is long, but I feel better that we are not alone. I am sure I will think of more. He is a scaredy cat!
