Lesley Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Wouldn't it be great if umberellas had the same effect on children, or chickens for that matter - much easier to round them up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Do you think that they get distressed at all. I know it looked funny, but I'm not sure that the owners are being fair deliberately startling them to make them "faint". Or am I just being a grumpy old woman. dont answer that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Awwww.....I felt sorry for the poor little things too Mel. It's not nice being scared witless is it Makes you want to pick them up and give them a big fuss and say sorry. Grumpy old women unite!!

The Dogmother Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 Do you think that they get distressed at all. I know it looked funny, but I'm not sure that the owners are being fair deliberately startling them to make them "faint". Or am I just being a grumpy old woman. dont answer that I must admit that I felt sorry for them too, after I'd laughed my socks off that is! I understand that some people can be unfortunate to have this syndrome, or something similar, too. Where their heart momentarily stops when they have a shock - Kate might well correct me on this when she gets her nursey uniform on (Dan)!
