> Herding dogs ... and hounds, such as beagles and basset hounds, seem to be more likely to develop a storm phobia....<<br><br>Ha hah lucky me. What breeds do I have? Belgian SHEEPDOG-- who is terrified of storms and Bassets-- one of whom is apparently working on it.<br>
I swear next time I am raising hamsters.Do hamsters have storm phobias? Do they cry in their crates if you don't sit in the room while they go to sleep at night? Do they play incessantly with a squeaky toy at 2 in the morning? Do they steal wallets, remotes, batteries, bread, butter, sharp knives, or sit directly in front of the fan?<br>
I have yet to hear of a hamster attacking a mailman, fed-ex or UPS person. (I have been attacked by bunnies, so they are out.)<br>Are there hamster shows? Would I need 5 crates to take one hamster to a hamster show? How about a grooming table as big as my dining room? Does it take 3 people to trim the nails on hamster? Do I need to?<br>
HAMSTER AGILITY!!! Think of the money I would save on the practice equipment!! I could use straws as weave poles, a piece of bent cardboard for the A-frame....<br>and what shots do hamsters have to have? Not rabies...and I betcha there isn't a village limit on hamsters, either.<br>
<br>Plus---you don't have to go out with them in the rain and snow!<br><br>Oops it's thundering, gotta run.<br><br>MomPerson to Nigel, Llewis (whassaliddelrain?) Conley (maaaaaaa? whassat noise? I dont like it...) Cooper (DUCK THE WORLD IS ENDING!!!!)<br>
