Incase I haven't mentioned here - I have a border collie puppy called Jake. He'll be a year old come September, and we've had him since last October (when our elderly dog had to be put to sleep). Jake is my baby. Because I don't have much to do thesedays, I've become super attached to my dog, and my previous dog, Corky before him. Jake is a source of entertainment and joy in days which are endlessly the same.
Jake is a very intelligent dog, and a smart ass at times. But sometimes he just has some really odd fears. And tonight he became terrified of the toilet brush holder. Our toilet brush holder is a blue and white china cat and it sits looking out from behind the toilet and tonight Jake started going mad growling at the toilet, then trying to stealthily approach the toilet brush holder, but chickening out and skittering back out of the toilet. I tried showing him that it was infact an inanimate object but when I picked it up and placed it in front of me, he ran off with his tail between his legs, so I put it back. I'm a bit confused at exactly what scared him, maybe it's because it was ''looking'' at him and he just realised it had eyes, but definitely weird.
Oh well, excitement over. The toilet brush holder is obviously way too scary and he's now hiding under my bed. For a big dog, he's really an absolute wimp at times.

This makes me smile. The fact that the thing is shaped like a CAT makes it even better! Animals are the best. You can laugh at them and they don't care ;)
He's just a strange animal with his fears - Paul took a DVD rack away last night, and it's a metal frame and he ran his fingers down it and it made a noise, and Jake ran away. Then even if we just showed Jake the rack, he ran away. This rack has been in my room since before we got Jake. I think he's just not the most observant pup at times, and he sees things and goes ARGH WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!
