16. My dog is extremely sensitive to loud noises.

My neighbors aren't a problem (I don't think). I was walking her in the park Saturday evening and someone started setting off firecrackers several blocks away. She started pulling hard for home, and spent an hour in my lap until she settled down. ( She's 60 lbs. and not a "lapdog" under any usual circumstances. )

Then yesterday she was swimming in the park pond when someone started making noise about a quarter mile away. I don't know what they were up to, but it sounded a little like a nail gun. She dropped her tennis ball (!) and jumped out of the pond before I could grab her. I finally caught up to her at the first intersection leaving the park. She wanted to run straight home, but waited for me before crossing the street.

At least she got over her Harley phobia...
