Cats! Petrified!
And balloons...

Champagne corks popping (fair enough) but now also champagne bottles, champagne glasses and the cupboard that they live in.

Smoke alarms (fair enough) but now also anything that bleeps, ds frying bacon and dh cooking anything. Hmm

Anything with a wire and plug,
The soda stream machine and bottle
Reflected lights on the wall
Me making goldfish mouths
Bowls, cups, glasses
the downstairs loo door opening, because once upon a time we had a too big lampshade which made a small bang. We replaced it for a non banging one two years ago, but you never know...

I could go on... All night....

Anyone in a hat
Supermarket delivery vans - could be any of them, Tesco, Ocado, Sainsbury's but he goes ballistic.

Hi viz, aerosols, caterpillars, brass bands.

nobodysbabynow · 27/04/2017 19:43

Raw eggs, jelly, any food that wobbles.

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 27/04/2017 19:42

The hoover and the washing machine on spin. They both go running to the basket with tail between legs. Despite both items being moderately quiet.

The ironing board! He growls at it when we fold it down

labradottie · 27/04/2017 19:41

Snowmen and stone statutes of humanlike figures - barks and barks!

Pallisers · 27/04/2017 19:40

the hoover
when I sneeze
The basket where we store his toys

The day the electrician tested the smoke alarms, I thought I'd have to give him (the dog that is) a stiff drink.

The colander Confused

witchofzog · 27/04/2017 19:39

Cardboard boxes. Bloody terrified of them. Which didn't work out too well for him when we moved house recently...

blueskyinmarch · 27/04/2017 19:39

Young lads on skateboards.

Plastic flapping in the wind.

Mumteedum · 27/04/2017 19:38

Quiz show buzzers, TV doorbells that do a long riiiiiiiing and steam train whistles

LumelaMme · 27/04/2017 19:37

Fluffy dogs. He was stared at by a collie once, and ran off crying into the bushes. Wimp.

Supersmith · 27/04/2017 19:36

His own shadow.
Carrier bags being blown about by the wind.
Open bottles, if we show him an open bottle (even an empty one) he'll bark at it.

samatamfabahaba · 27/04/2017 19:31

Bing bags being put in the bin
Take away menus
The washing line extender pole thing

MovingtoParadise · 27/04/2017 19:31

Plastic bags or any plastic like bike covers/car covers flapping in the wind
