| | Barked: Fri Nov 6, '09 9:13am PST | | | | | | @ Koji: Thanks! I've been trying to 'desensitize' her to the noises. letting her sniff & give her treats. It was a bit frustrating.
@ Chad: Thanks also! It must have been a bit frustrating bc i found myself doing the deep inhale/exhale exercise many times! I'm glad he's forgotten all about it. you won't have to deal with it anymore, hopefully!
@Saki: Thanks! & I'm glad you added "unplugged"! haha. Are you still trying to get her used to the steamer?
**To all of you**
Though there are many pet owners out there that has/had gone through something like this with their pets, it's reassuring for me to hear your stories 
That whole day I have been trying to make a lot of noise & giving her treats & praising her if she didn't run away from me. The day after that, she was COMPLETELY FINE! She forgot about it all together. Was I overreacting? Maybe. Or maybe it was a good thing that I tried to correct it right after. Maybe.
But later that night, we went to a memorial at the beach's pier. I had no idea there were going to be FIREWORKS! I felt horrible! She was somewhat afraid that she was standing over water & adding the loud noises from the fireworks made it worse. She was looking for cover, crawling & pulling me everywhere, shivering like crazy. We ran her back to the car, & what do you know? She's fine again the day after. I was sure she was going to be fearful of all loud noises from having that experience 2 days in a row, but she's alright.
Again, thanks for your response. Yuki & I are thankful to have buddies like you guys!  | | | | |

Cute outside,- vicious inside. |
| | Barked: Tue Nov 3, '09 8:36pm PST | | | | | | This morning, I was unwrapping a package & there were large plastic bubble wraps inside. I popped one for fun & Yuki jumped a bit, but she was fine. Then I did one more (my mistake), & she ran away. When she calmed down we petted her. She was fine. I left the wrap by the stairs & my mother came down and jumped onto the wrap making loud popping noises. Yuki freaked when she was lying there with her hind legs shivering. My mom felt bad and held her when I told her not to when she's in that state of mind. 
Now Yuki is afraid of EVERY wrapper, plastic bag-like noise. Omg, I feel horrible. Please don't make me feel any more horrible than I already do.  !
I've tried to let her get used to the noises. I sat her next to me & made noises with a plastic bag & when she didn't run away, I gave her a treat. I did this for awhile. Then I did this with an empty plastic bottle (because it resembled the bubble wrap sound). She was fine.
A few minutes ago, I picked up something that sounded like a plastic wrapper & she ran away from me.
I cannot say this enough: I feel horrible. Can anybody help me with this? This all happened today & I can't help but feel that this is all my fault, which it is!
Please help, I will forever appreciate it  | | | | |
