We have discovered that Peanut, now five months old, is afraid of the vacuum cleaner. Yesterday, Pumpkin was vacuuming around her and she freaked out. She cried like someone was beating her, when I picked her up I could feel her heart beating rapidly. It was kind of funny and heartbreaking at the same time. Her fear of vaccum is shared with our cat sylvester. (I wonder if I put a broom near hear if she'll hiss and hit it?) Sorry inside joke...
I wonder where these fears come from because Peanut has been afraid of the dark since she was born. Pumpkin was also afraid of the dark too. As a matter of fact Pumpkin just gave up her nightlight this past summer.
