Falling and breaking a tooth (who knew this was so common), snakes or anything vaguely reptilian, burning alive, my dog being stuck in her crate in a fire (another common one, who knew?), being bitten by a bat in my sleep (did you know that they don’t leave a mark and that if you wake up with a bat in the room you should be tested/treated for rabies ASAP). SO yeah, I’m cookoo for cocoa puffs.

That said, some totally unsolicited advice …… it’s a good idea to supervise the dogs on the tie out leash. Even if the leash keeps them in the yard, it doesn’t keep other animals/people OUT (same with fences and ESPECIALLY electronic fences). People steal dogs all the time and are bold about it…dogs with white necks (Boxers, Boston Terriers, etc.) are often stolen for thugs to teach a pit bull where to strike. I wish I were kidding. I also know people who’ve had their dogs attacked and killed by other dogs in their own yard-literally ripped apart. I am not trying to scare you, just sharing some info I picked up while doing dog rescue that changed the way I do things. Glad your little Lando is safe and sound!!!

ummm you need a fence! although, i still fear farley has found some way to wiggle his weiner body out of the backyard and that he’s bolting down the street in front of traffic.
but anyway…

SNAKES… so scary and disgusting!!
omg i can’t even watch them on tv! i used to try to make myself so i might get over my fear, and in just a couple minutes i was literally curled in a tight ball at the end of the couch cringing and not looking at the screen.
SNAKES ARE HORRIBLE!

My fear, quite irrational, is that someone is going to steal me from my house. This is why when I apartment hunt I rule out the first floor.

I am so terrified that my boyfriend will get in a random deadly accident. I always make sure to give him a kiss and tell him I love him before he leave/I leave.

Also, spiders. Ugh.

I have a horrible fear of throwing up. In middle school it was so bad that anytime I got a stomachache I was convinced I was going to get sick and would throw a fit. I’ve calmed down about it a little now, but still turn into a big baby.

I am soooo scared of thunderstorms!! It has actually got better (thank goodness) but it used to be that if it even started raining and I was outside I’d get totally freaked that lightning would start and I’d get hit!! Okay, now that I say it I think I sound completely crazy .

OMG!! I would have FREAKED! I’m not so sure Diddy would have come back – thank goodness Lando loves her treats! I think I’d probably come for treats, too…..

I’m terrified of the dark. My dad STILL tries to scare me when it’s dark out – gotta love your family, right??

I’ll go with death and big bugs too. I just saw a big bug in my kitchen. And I ran away. Like that’s going to solve the problem!
