My dog is terrified of the printer. Every time I print something she starts crying and pacing back in forth in front of it. When the paper comes out she runs up and sniffs it before backing away slowly. Anyone else have a pet with irrational fears/obsessions?

My dog is a nutball.
He only knows how to go in and out through the back door. If he's in the front yard, and I open the front door and whistle for him, he will run at top speed around to the back of the house and wait to be let in through the back door.
Citrus? Scared to eat it, or just by the sight of it?
He specifically hates the smell. So if you are peeling an orange he wrinkles his nose and his teeth show. If you try to give him the peel he will take it as far away as he can (corner of the house/yard) and drop it

Ok, this one is really weird. The dog in the foreground of my siggy is scared of guns.
Like, I don't own guns and have never played with anything that looked like a gun, but when a friend brought his airsoft gun to our house, she started shaking and trying to run back in the house.
I expected she'd be scared of the noise it made when he fired the pellets, but just the sight of it had her in panic mode.
She's a rescue. It makes me wonder WTF her previous owners did to her!
My dog won't poop in our yard- he has to go out to the pasture. His favorite past time is watching the chickens in the chicken coop. It's like his very own Food Network.
our pit hates water and those automatic fill water bowls. you know how they will gurgle sometimes? she won't go near them. she would die of dehydration before drinking out of one. and she will back away while you are re-filling her water bowl or if you get the garden hose. but she loves to swim and lay in the lake.
our beagle is scared of everything and loves to steal stuff. he likes to find random things in bags and take them under the bed to eat/chew them. cardboard and receipts are his favorite.

Yeah, mine has to go down the hill into the woods. He likes privacy when he poops.

When we got him, he would only pee on white stuff. Like lids and bags and snow. Then summer came, and he had to change his ways.
Oh yes...we have 2 pits (male) and a cocker spaniel (female). The boys are scared of my cocker spaniel...she's 15 and the alpha dog of the group. All 3 of them are scared of the rain. Sissies.
One of my pits is obsessed with the laser pointer cat toy...the cats don't get to play with it. He seriously will run head first into the wall trying to get that little red dot. DH used to shine the laser on our steel entry door...until I noticed the dogs nose was bruised and bloodied from running snout first into several times the night before trying to get that damn dot. I'm surprised he didn't knock any teeth loose. LOL
Lol! My bird does too...even when he is ready to get up! And if you are too loud while he is trying to sleep, he hisses. I got hissed at 5 times tonight. Boooo!
My dog is TERRIFIED of boxes. Like runs from them, barks at them, won't go near them. All because a fedex box sitting next to the garbage fell over when she walked by when she was about 4 months old. We laugh at her.

My cat loves carbs. He will break into our bread box, move the wheat bread, and go to town on the hamburger buns. He also likes lettuce. He will stare you down try jedi mind tricks when you have a hamburger.
One dog will steal ink pens from your hand. The other will pull his blanket out of his crate and drag it into our bed to sleep.
We have 2 dogs and 2 cats - all under the age of 4. It's a madhouse here.

omg, these stories are cracking me up.
Once I was doing laundry and I put a pile of folded, clean clothes on my bed and went to do something else before putting them away. All the sudden my dog (the little one) started freaking out barking like crazy. I go up to see what's going on, and she's standing at the edge of the bedroom, barking at the pile of clothes. What a weirdo.
Our dog isn't scared of much, but she won't jump out of the car in the garage if there are cardboard boxes in sight. She's 55 pounds and will sit in the seat until I pick her up and carry her past the boxes. However, the one thing she does that I think is crazy is when she grabs something she knows she isn't supposed to have she looks at us and runs straight up the stairs. To the baby gate. She traps herself every. single. time. Other than that she is a really smart dog. I'm hoping she doesn't stop doing that though. It makes it easy to get our stuff back. Oh, and she eats my husbands earplugs like they are candy. Can't get enough of them. Weirdo.
I have two crazy cats. Lili LOVES playing fetch, so I am pretty sure she was supposed to be a dog, AND she loves blowpops. If she sees a blowpop she gets so excited.
Belle loves ice cream, broccoli, and runs away and hides under the bed when the garage door opens.
