| Phobia's
I wonder what everyone else is scared of? Here's mine: Suffocation, Crocodiles, Heights, Drowning, Pirrhana fish, Soldier ants, (yeh I watched too many Tarzan movies as a kid maybe) I'm not keen on quicksand either... What scares you?

Wow! Cats? Little fluffy-wuffy kitty-cats? Yes I reckon you can turn this around on me tho bcz I'm scared to death of dogs but tiny puppies are ok. With a puppy I just want to pick it up and cuddle it and feed it but when they get big enough to rip my jugular out then I assume that that is what will happen next! Not like I've been traumatised or anthing. A Staffordshire Bull terrier tried to kill my cat once and I grabbed her and ran into the house and screamed my head off. But he didn't try to bite me he just wanted the cat. My screaming alerted the next-door-neighbour who oddly enough was a dog-handler for the police and he just jumped over the fence and grabbed the dog and nobody got hurt but it scared the bejezus out of me! I was wearing jeans and he ripped them off me but stopped short of actually biting my skin. He pulled my jeans off me and I was just standing there in my knickers with a cat in my arms and screaming my head off while my lovely neighbour wrestled the dog to the ground! He didn't even bite him. It was our cat that he wanted and Thank God our neighbour held onto him and didn't let him get to us. Scared the feck out of me mind! Oh and the cat clawed me to ribbons!

hehe that's one of the reasons why going insane wouldn't scare me too bad indigo, I'd always think well I won't know about it anyway! Anyway all the best people are a tad insane.... all the creative, intelligent, artistic types..?  I'd rather be a little 'off the wall' than dull. I think you're fine sweetie XXX

lightning!!!! i may have always had a slight phobia but it has become full blown in my adulthood. in storm season i constantly have a radar screen up on my computer or at home. if it looks like bad weather coming my way i will head to my basement to ride it out or if i'm at work i stay put until it passes by (thank goodness my office has no windows). i won't drive in a storm with lightning unless an emergency.

Maybe its an American thing hon. I guess we don't get so much bad weather over here, well not so extreme. Right now I'm going mad bcz I can't find my phone! I keep hearing a 'beep' and I run to the noise but I can't find it! I just know it's within a couple of feet but I lift up paperwork and (ahem) cuddly toys and I can't find where the noise is coming from! *Damn my house is too untidy! Where the feck is my phone! I bet the rabbit has eaten it!

| Phobias
Dentists, ticks, ants, centipedes, millipedes, tornadoes. (...though strangely enough, tornadoes--in theory-- fascinate me! If there's a big disaster show on the Weather Channel about tornadoes I'm glued to it. But when the sky turns that creepy greenish-black color in the summertime, I panic--log on the the National Weather Service website, turn on the weather radio, break out in a cold sweat...) Gosh, Spacegirl--your dog encounter sounds so frightening! I'm glad you and kitty turned out OK (except for the part where the cat shredded you ) I think that whoever the sick people are that started breeding dogs for aggression/fighting should have a pack of pitbulls, staffies, etc. set on them. Poor dogs don't have a chance--they're victims of their breeding! (Sorry about that little side-rant there--I used to have a dear pitbull mix who just snapped one day and attacked me, so we had to have her put down. She was a love--my "heart dog", but something just misfired in her brain one day.....) |

He was a staffie (the dog who tried to attack my cat) but I thought he was a pit-bull for some reason. I'm not good on dog-breeds. I took my cat to the vet as I wasn't sure if she'd been bitten before I reached her and it turned out she was fine but when I described the dog the vet said 'yeah that wasn't a pit-bull it was a staffordshire bull-terrier'. Tbh I don't blame the dog. My neighbours kept him chained up all day and wanted him to look after the house and they didn't socialise him. I know for a fact that your little guy would've been better cared for than this poor dog. Well with a mum like you I can say that for sure! The Police gave me the choice of whether to press charges and I said 'as long as you keep him away from kids then don't put him to sleep'. He shredded the jeans I was wearing tho! I mean he ripped my jeans right off my body! I was screaming my head off but he didn't rip my flesh, only my clothes and I was holding the cat above my head and screming my head off but he still didn't bite me. Just took exception to my clothes! At the time I wasn't embarassed bcz the cat was ripping my face and shoulders to pieces and I was scared of dropping her within his reach but afterwards I felt a bit shy when I saw my neighbour... lol Oh angie I'm with you on death! It's not so much death itself, more the realisation that it will happen soon and the process itself... Scares the poop out of me!

I don't blame my dog for what happened, either. We adopted her from the Humane Society as a puppy and were fully aware of her breeding. I guess I was naive to think proper socialization and care for 5 years could permanently override her parentage. All it took was the right trigger (an aggressive dog who moved in next door to us) to flip a switch in her brain, and I truly don't think she knew what she was doing. She acted so sorry after the attack, but the vet said we'd be taking a huge risk keeping her, or even giving her away to someone else. We'd be responsible--regardless of whether she was still 'ours'--if she ever attacked anyone. He said we could never trust her again, and since we have our own kids and all the neighborhood kids at our house all the time, we couldn't chance her attacking them. Oh dear--I'm sorry I've hijacked your thread here! BACK TO THE SUBJECT OF PHOBIAS... | |
