Doggie Fears

Conner has been known to have a few irrational fears. Including but not limited to balloons, big exercise balls, tongs, and thunder (maybe that last one is legit). Over the weekend we discovered a new one: Bacon. Yes that is right. Bacon. The delicious meat that most dogs would go crazy for. In our house you cook it up and he is no where to be found. At first we thought it was the noise of the bacon sizzling in the pan but tonight Justin made it in the microwave and once again Conner was gone. I found him here:



Hiding in his kennel in the garage refusing to come out. And note how far his poor little tail is tucked.


I was finally able to lure him out with a treat. Can anyone figure out why he's so scared of bacon? Lets just say that maybe a few times while cooking it the smoke alarm has gone off and apparently he associates the smell with that. Oops! Better watch my cooking.

I think you should nickname him "Pavlov" from now on :)
