Scaredy-Dog



My parents didn't come home until late last night, and when they did, they couldn't find me!

I was hiding in the coat closet.

I hate loud beeping noises (like cell phones) and the smoke detector had been beeping all evening, because it was low on batteries. I was terrified. I managed to get in the closet, on top of a little cabinet, and between the coats.

I was glad when they came home.

Good choice Lenny. I'll bet those coats smelled like your mom and dad. I think you were a smart dog to find comfort from the noises. Otherwise, you might have done something to humiliate yourself and make mom and dad angry. Good work

Hi Lenny
I hate the smoke detector too!!!

Are you bigger than the JRT ?If yes,then we tend to have a Napolean complex.I do fine with dogs my size or smaller,I dont even look twice at them but I make an effort to be a pest around bigger doggies.
Also I am all growly and angry sounding when I first meet someone and then calm down after the "who the boss is" part is established which generally means let the dogs have at it!!!
When I go crazy she puts me in my crate and I calm down!
Typically I like to know I am boss and thats a JRT trait!
Dog sitting is an adventure !!Good luck to you guys,mommy dogsits for friends and there is a corgi coming over in 2 weeks.He is a year old and is more hyper than !!!

Poor Lenny! I think you were very clever to hide in the closet. I'd probably just have barked the place down! J x

Daniella said...

Aw, poor Lenny, your face says it all. I just want to kiss your little nose. Sorry you had a scary evening little guy...I also don't like loud noises and sudden moves...flying plastic bags for eg. and firecrackers!

Oh Lenny

What a horrid thing to happen all those scarey noises when you were all alone.

You difinitely went to the best place to hide away.

Lenny,
Poor you! You look so scared! Good idea to hide in the closet there. Hope your parents gave you extra love when they got home!
My girl leaves Cartoon Network on the TV for me during the day and she's always worried about that damn emergency broadcast test signal coming on at random. I'm pretty laid back for a terrier and so it doesn't scare me or anything. It's just a little annoying that's all.
Woof,
Keeley
PS I tagged you on my blog! Check it!

Oh, you poor boy. There's nothing to afraid of with these noises, they do no harm. Good thing you found a good hiding place in the closet, hehe!

Love licks,

Hammer said...

Hi Lenny
I've missed you !!!
You poor thing. I know what the sound is like when the battery is low in the smoke alarm. This doesn't bother me but it upsets my brother, Hobson coz he is super sensitive. It is good your pawrents finally came home and comforted you.
Love from Hammer

William Tell said...

Poor Lenny, what a terrifying evening you must have had. I'm glad you found a safe place.

We hate the smoke detectors too, but our cockatiel Petrie loves them. He says, "Catchy tune, a bit repetitive, I give it a 5." Then he sings along. Birdbrain.

Glad your folks made everything right again!

Simba said...

Oh poor Lenny. Good thing you had access to a nice safe place!! I stay cozy in my crate when the humans are gone.

So how did the meet with the JRT go??

Poor Lenny - hope you're feeling better now. That smoke detector beep freaks me out too!

Your pal,

Girasol said...

I bet when they fond you all of you were happy.

Princess Patches said...

That's really scary, Lenny! Loud noises make us do strange things. Mom has set mouse traps in the window seat to keep Pockets out of it and last night, he got snapped by one of them. He hasn't been in the window since. Glad your pawrents came home to rescue you from the awful noise!

Aire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Pockets

wally said...

Awww...poor Lenny. Me and my sissy hate those things, too. Though she's more afraid of them. I hide under the laundry when there's t-storms, though.

ps. My ma ape just ordered one of those O'bama shirts--HA!
