Freaked Out Doggie

Sometimes we like to compile and update lists of all things that scare the bejesus out of Mr. Beau. He is a sweet sweet dog but definitely has a paranoid side. So far, fireworks have topped the list of his ultimate fears, until today.

The smoke detector in our kitchen had a low battery. Who knew the little beep it let out every few minutes would put the fear of God in him, but it did. This is a picture BT sent me from his phone earlier today (note the tail tucked between the hind legs, the dog's equivalent to crapping your pants). After it was taken, he spent an hour outside sitting in fear and shaking in the corner of the yard by the fence. Don't worry, the battery has been replaced now (after a frantic trip to walgreens for a nine volt battery to keep his sanity) and all is well....
