Not the brightest crayon in the box......

Tasker is a "city" dog, grew up in the middle of town in a less than perfect situation. This fall we were blessed to be able to move to our own "spread" in the country and Tasker loves it but is having a few "adjustment" difficulties. Yesterday we were outside, picking rocks to make the lawn (is there anything else to do on a lovely spring day???) when Tasker wandered off. Very unusual for him because he is usually attached to me at the hip but apparently he is getting a bit more adventurous.

I followed him down the road about a quarter of a mile to the neighbors house. As I approached the house I heard a terrible ferocious barking. I got REALLY worried, afraid my mild mannered pussy cat of an OES had turned into a maniac. Running madly into the neighbors back yard I found Tasker in full fighting stance, with every hair raised and his teeth barred barking LIKE MAD at a WOODEN CUT OUT OF A MOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! After calming him down I took him over to the cut out to show him it was only wood. Have you ever seen a sheepie blush???? I could swear he looked totally mortified and slunk back home with his head hanging low. Guess he won't wander again too soon!!!!!!

Poor Tasker :D That did make me LOL though, an embarrassed sheepie.
I hope he recovers from the humiliation :lol:
Hee hee. That's so funny. Clyde goes into full guard mode every time he hears a doorbell or a knock...or any sound that resembles it. Watching TV is often peppered with attacks at the front door! No sign of embarassment. I think he thinks one of these days he's going to be a hero for his efforts!
That story made me laugh. Too cute!
I dunno - dogs seem to bark at brooms, vacumes, hair dryers, unfamiliar chairs, alarm clocks, sofas, swings and probably even an assortment of fruit snack boxes.

It's hard to think that they would have any shame. :lol:
That is hilarious! :lol: Imagine if it was a real moose! LOL
That's so funny. I could see Pepsi doing the same thing
Funny story, I can totally see it happening.

I've had puppies completely lose it over a fire hydrant. I am standing on the sidewalk trying to figure out what startled them, and sure enough the only thing it could be was a fire hydrant. Should have seen them pull away as I walked up to it.

Remy freaked out this past winter when we met half a snowman in the dark.
:lol: Hahahahaha... I can relate.

My neighbor kids left their plastic pony outside in the park one day. Lennon bolted as usual from our door to the park, but when he saw the plastic horse he froze and ran away inside the house again.

When he got the courage to return, he approached to it as slow as he could, sniffed at it very carefully, and when the wind made it rock, Lennon bolted again to hide behind a plant in our porch... He did that for 5 o 6 times until he realized it was just a plastic toy. it was extremely funny!
:lol: :lol: HEHEHEHE :lol:
