Turns out Betsy may actually be afraid of flies. She's been found hiding in the bathroom from flies that made their way inside. I'm told today, when taken to Rain's photo studio, she stopped playing with Kit as soon as a fly appeared. She hid under a table. I wonder why she would be so afraid of them! Betsy was so good at catching them too. She must've wanted to get them before they got to her. Although now she just hides from them.

  1. Oh my goodness! Bowdu was FREAKING out the other night when a large, buzzing black fly invaded the home. Worst, it dive-bombed him during his Epsom salt foot soak, and ended up drowning in the bathwater. He started shaking uncontrollably. It was strange.

    Maybe there's some sonic frequency to buzzing fly wings that strikes terror in shiba hearts, but can't be perceived by humans?

  3. LOL Very funny cartoon and LOVED the last line. LOL My Miko is also afraid of flies. We had one buzzing around the dining room and Miko was trying her hardest to get into my lap! She also doesn't like anything buzzing around her when she is trying to get her business done.

    The thing that kills me is that she doesn't seem to be afraid of things that can actually bite or sting. One day a big black horse fly was buzzing around in the grass and she was all over that. LOL And I have also caught her nosing around in the grass and one time it was a honey bee and the other time it was a bumble bee. The bumble bee actually crawled onto her nose, but she was able to shake it off.

  6. Kitsune is the most awesome of awesome fly catchers. A fly does not stand a chance in our house. Then again, neither does anything that can be knocked over in the chase..
