Afraid of the Dark

[Fumble]

well, good ole cape cod got nailed last night with a pretty bad rain storm.  It was about 4 am, and i noticed that the power went out, because the two fans that i have on his crate went off.  No joke, as soon as the fumble realized he was hot, he woke up and then saw that it was dark, and boy did he start crying!!  earlier this weekend i moved his crate to the other corner of my room where there is no heater and no real light, and he cried all night as well.  My sister and i came to the conclusion that he has to be afraid of the dark! 
I think it's kinda funny that such a big boy is afraid of the dark!  hehehe! he's so cute though! he looked so disheveled this morning.. i had to get him his own candle to make him stop crying!

Hey, I am on the south shore too, just not as far down as the cape LOL...Gutta love the rain but they say snow for turkey day.

I am sure you know, if the dog acts scared, dont comfort the animal because it reinforces the dog to be scared of the storm

oh i know! i am sort of excited to see how fumble will react in the snow for the first time..
oh no worries about the cooing him or anything.. my sister and i were more worried about a spark that we saw outside, and he was crying but we were outside doing a search!  nothing was wrong w/ us.. but at least it helped us not to reinforce the behavior!  he calmed down a little once i got back in bed.. but for such a big dog, it's kinda funny that he's such a scaredie cat! lol...
