Most dogs are afraid of thunder. Some dogs hate the vacuum. My first dog was so scared of the gate that bringing it near him caused panic. But how many pups do you know that are petrified by carpet? I'll take "Irrational Fears for 100, Alex."

Artie is so scared of stepping on the carpet from the hardwood floor that seeing it sends chills. However, the only way he can get out the back door is through the carpeted living room. What's a dog to do? He actually turns himself around so he cant see himself stepping on the textured floor. Oh sweet pup. Happy National Dog Day!
