Wednesday Woozles: Is Your Woozle a Fraidy Cat? [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Hello, Peeps.

Do you have a big, tough woozle who is afraid of something harmless? I know I used to. But first let’s take care of this:

A gentle reminder of how we do things: 🐱🐶🐦 Do not troll the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.

Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community.

Pooties are cats; Woozles are dogs. Birds... are birds! Peeps are people.

Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. If you’re having “issues” with another Kossack, keep it “out there.” This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly. There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated. If we alert you to it, please remember that we do have phobic peeps who react strongly to them. If you keep posting banned pics...well then...the Tigress will have to take matters in hand. Or, paw.

My scaredy cat was my late shepherd/chow mix Annie. She seemed fearless but whenever I dragged her near a body of water she cowered whenever she got a front toenail wet.

My former neighbors’ Doberman Abby was also afraid of her own shadow. She was terrified of my pootie Sarah. Also, right after her family moved in, I watched her sneaking around my side yard. I said, “Boo!” and she made a beeline for her front porch.

Then there was my 115 pound Gordon setter, Duggan. He was once in a park stalking a nesting Canada goose. True to form, this goose feinted an attack. This got her gander partner to fire off a for reals charge. Duggan thought twice and tucked tail and ran. Oh, and he was also gun shy.

Does anyone else have a scaredy dog?

So what’s happening with your critters?
