Today, I discovered that my 100-pound Rottweiler is absolutely terrified of (drumroll please) orange peels. Yup. A byproduct of my lunch will turn this hulking monolith with teeth into a whimpering puddle of pee. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dog became scared of his own food bowl. He now barks for ages every time he sees it. FML
Today, I learned that my big, tough, strong dog is terrified of spiders when he jumped, knocked over a table, and then peed on the spider to drown it. FML
Today, I discovered that the delicious beef jerky strips I’ve been eating all week are actually the dog’s teeth cleaning chews. FML
Today, my dog got his head stuck in a container, panicked, and shat himself all over the living room. FML
Today, I discovered that one of my dogs has taken a liking to rolling over his own poop. I found out by petting him. FML
Today, my 5-year-old, overweight Siberian Husky tackled me because he thought that my lipstick was food. FML
Today, I finally realized why my 9-week-old puppy was going to the bathroom so much. I went to pick up the food bag and realized she had chewed a hole in the bottom, and eaten half of the bag in the last 4 days. Goodbye 30 pounds of dog food, and 100$ for a vet visit. FML
Today, I went home for lunch. Upon opening the door, I smelled something horrid. My dog had opened his cage, eaten all the dog treats, and had diarrhea all over my bed and bedroom floor. FML
Today, I bought some bitter-apple spray to stop my puppy chewing on everything. Later, I found out how effective it was, when I tried to eat a sandwich, and gagged at the horrifying taste on my hands. My dog seems unaffected, and continues to chew the table legs. FML
Today, my sweet 7-month-old puppy ran up to a big fat dog at the park and did what she always does: roll over on her back to start to play. The big fat dog lifted his leg and peed all over my puppy's belly. After the shock, my soaking wet puppy jumped on me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Lots of dogs dislike citrus from what I've heard. So maybe he was reacting to the smell?

My dog will eat citrus for every meal if you let her. Clementines and oranges, she goes nuts when she smells me peeling one.

Is it just me, or are bigger dogs the biggest softies? That's not bad; I love big dogs! A family in Kerry I know has a huge German Shepherd who whines like mad and just glomps to your legs :P She's such a sweetheart. Also, dogs no likey citrus. It's common for people to use bottles filled with lemon water to deter dogs from entering their yard.

Dogs don't like oranges actually. If you rub citrus oils on your table or chairs, it will keep puppies from chewing on them.

I wish this were true of my dog. When she was a pup, she loved all the sprays that were used to deter her from chewing. She liked them so it just made her want to chew them more lol. We ended up spraying them on her toys so she would choose them over the furniture.

Our mastador(mastiff-lab) will run from other dogs. Our 9 pound dachshund chases them off usually. He was also scared of a gas can. He will, however, stand his ground if he's with one of us to protect us. Big dogs seem to usually be big, adorable scaredy-cats.
