New Things Scare Me A Little

Oh my... watching a puppy discover the world around them is pretty hilarious at times! Gus is learning about new things all the time. His most recent discoveries include the fan. We've had some warmer weather over the past few weeks and brought down the fans from the attic. Gus isn't quite sure about these yet, and doesn't realize the effect a fan has on other things, like making a curtain blow around. Last week Mr. Tough Guy didn't want to come in the bedroom and kept growling at the wall. Hmmm... what is upsetting you? I soon figured out it was the fan; so I walked over to it to show him that it was not going to hurt me, that upset him even more and he was about to attack the fan to save his mama. After I turned it off he came over and thoroughly sniffed it and from that point on the fan seemed OK. This morning while lounging together (my first real day of summer), Gus was growling at the wall again. I moved the fan a few days ago to my side of the bed, so now the fan is blowing the curtain back and forth. At first I thought, maybe there is something outside that he hears; nope, it's the curtain moving that looks like a big, scary monster in our bedroom. The discoveries of Gus are pretty cute; too bad his mom is a serious space cadet and can't figure out what the problem is quick enough to ease his worries.
