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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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

I have a friend whose black lab is terrified of a blue lid to a plastic bin for no reason. He'll run away and won't even go near it. Dogs are weird sometimes.

There are weird eccentricities of animal behavior that it just drives me nuts we will never get the chance to fully figure out. I'd fork over a reasonable sum of money just for the ability to ask this dog what's going through its head.

As sad as that is for you and your dog, my mental image of this happening is pretty adorable.

Dogs can get incredibly sick from the oils inside orange peels

My rottie is the same way. You will get used to his quirks.

It's the citronella oil in the peel, cats, dogs, and Mosquitos all hate it. It's in lime, lemon, orange, etc. I'd put then near your plants in the garden instead. Or put them in a garbage disposal with some ice for a quick smoothie -- I mean, for a clean fresh smelling sink! Freeze and stuff in chickens. Use the oil to scrub greasy messes. Make candied peels. Lots of tips out there to reuse the peel, but keep away from the dog,
