Benji is acting very weird!

Benji has seemed very uneasy this past 30 mins or so and keeps running to the back door to go out - then he wants to come in again and he won't settle at all so I was quite concerned to as what was the matter with him.

Well I have just found out what it was Rhianna was watching something on telly that told them they needed a tin to make something so she asked if I had one. I gave her a small biscuit tin from Christmas and I have just realised what is wrong with him - he has a tin phobia He runs a mile at christmas if we get a tin of roses out. I have just taken him upstairs to lie on Lauras bed so that he is not near the tin

from cardboard boxes to tins

aww poor benji big hugs coming your way

Yes it would be great if he hated cardboard boxes too wouldn't it that would be a good enough excuse to keep the dreaded things where they belong

Thanks Jenn - he has ventured back down the stairs again now cos he heard me going in the kitchen cupboard He is sat near the door though ready to make a sharp exit if the tin gets banged again.

I think it stems from when he was young and my dozy son Dan dropped a stainless steel tray on the floor which narrowly missed him and it made a right clatter so he has never forgotten the sound

Poor little Benji, send him to me Foxy I will spend the afternoon giving him big cuddles!

aww bless him that is so sad mind you when they do hit the floor they do make a very loud noise ive frightened myself a few times

Ok he is on his way Moli

core ella is the opposite she hears a tin and comes running my biscuits are in mine [ one for mummy one for ella !!! ]

Yes he is a strange dog at times. He also winges for about 20 minutes after eating something he loves too At Christmas he backed away when we put the roses tin on the floor
