Now if thunder isn't enough there's always guns . The higher power and louder weapon the more he flips out. A mere 22 rifle firing can start the panicky behavior. Handguns he's climbing up my side to hide on my neck. Yes on my neck ! And omg when the 30 ought 6 comes out he really gets nervous and tries to claw his way into my neck.
Thankfully we live in the country and other than the Sunday target practices it is relatively quiet here. My neighbor love their guns. I don't hate guns or wish the ban of weapons but guns cause such emotional turmoil with my boys. I hate the first shot as it turns my little guy into a nutty psychopath. This year he added a new phobias the lawnmower....the weedeater and vacuum.
This year for the first time the mower has caused yet more nutty behavior. Which is strange because last year he rode on the mower with hubby while he mowed. He would chase the mower wanting to ride. Guess It's time for another ride to show him the mower isn't out to get him. Mowing twice a week is a reality around here 8 months a year. If we don't nip this phobia now it will cause total hysteria and a breakdown.
