Gordon and the Dreaded/Scary Heat Vent

So this is Gordon. 
Gordon, for reasons unknown to B and I, is deathly afraid of the heat vents in our home.
B has a theory that it is because Gordon watched a spider meet its' untimely demise in a heat vent.
Either way, if there is a toy, a treat, really anything tempting on our heat vent, Gordon really has a hard time retrieving the item if at all.
One evening as I came home from work, I walked in to find that B had put EVERY toy that we owned for Gordon on top of our main living room heat vent.
I laughed because Gordon could not possibly bring himself to brave the vent.
Recently we were able to record Gordon, attempting to overcome his fears, as shown below.  This is part one of a two part montage.

So as you can see, clearly the vent is evil.
In part two, we see much more of the same.

Not even all of the coaxing in the world from his favorite owner (B) could persuade Gordon to get the blessed ball off of the evil vent.
What a wimp.

That is hilarious! He is SUCH a cute doggy! I love his ears. That is so funny, and really, it fits you guys, you are such a funny family.
Ethan asked, "why is he so scared of heat?" He laughed too, he loves your dogs!

I've forgotten to tell you it's Lynnes who has sent me. A new blog and a new visitor from France! Ma chère!
Will you stop torturing this poor little dog? : )
Shout out a rebel cry, Gordon! Don't allow them to play with your ball and foremost laugh at you! Try to look disdainful. ; )
