Are your pets afraid of your guns?

[Fishslayer]

Well thanks a lot now fella's... made a grown man cry just now thinking about
his little buddy what passed away almost 20 years ago! - Eesh!

We said goodbye to our mutt Shovelhead in July of 04 and I stll mist up when I think about him. He was one of those dogs that come along once in a lifetime if you are really, really lucky. He's in the back yard under a tree I planted for him. We have other dogs but they make their own places in our hearts.

As for my present friend, he doesn't mind firearms.

My cat will alternate between rubbing up on my rifles and trying to sleep on them.

Mine could not care less. Only time they even take a second look is if I rack it without them knowing. ie catch them off guard..

But they have never been around when I shoot them either, I could've guaranteed that my old dog (rip) would've gone ape *****. When camping we always drive off to go shoot (Courtesy to a buddies wife) And thankfully I have never had to shoot at home.

My 100 pounds of Love Cane Corso could care less about the guns, shoot a 300 win mag and she looks over to see what it is and then lays down and goes back to sleep.

we have two dogs. these little guys:

they want nothing to do with guns. they run and hide in their crates when i'm cleaning guns in the kitchen (usually clean in the garage).

Nope my dogs don't care about my guns.

Since I have a birddog that actually goes hunting, my dog equates gun = fun. No problems. The vaccum cleaner though thats's a different story...

I have to check my safe before closing it as my cat likes to sleep in there.

I haven't read the whole thread don't know if anybody mentioned this. Dogs and humans have been working together for thousands of years. They are the only two animals who can identify eachothers' facial expressions - not even primates and humans can do that. Since humans and dogs have been hunting together for as long as firearms have been around I would not be surprised if something about the presence of firearms is recognizable to dogs. Just my $.02
