I've been waking up about 6, 6:30 to give Dickens his first morning pee. He had been waking me up by biting my ears which I thought was great because that's when I wanted to wake up when I started work anyway. For some reason he's decided he wants to sleep in more though which means I end up waking him up which is all kinds of backwards but regardless.
Anyway, post walks he is always playful and this morning was no exception. He was deftly moving between boxes as I threw his orange "chewie" around the house. However, on one particular attempt I threw his toy and in his quick turn around, he managed to catch the power cable on one of Kate's lamps that was sitting in the middle of the room and knocked it over. Shocked, he immediately jumped back and started to growl at the lamp. This however, quickly turned into fear and he was far too afraid to go anywhere near it.
I attempted to show him the lamp was not dangerous by picking it up and cuddling it but he would have none of it. His ears went back and he cowered in fear at the lamp. I cornered him near the front door of our house and tried to show it to him. He sniffed the power cord but spent the entire time hiding behind me in fear of the lamp. When I picked the lamp up again he used the opportunity to dart away.
So he still is afraid of the lamp poor guy. I hope he gets over it soon.
