I have a phobia of dogs. It is really a pain in the ass and makes life very difficult. I'm constantly on alert whenever we go to the park or in the canyon to go hiking because no one obeys leash laws and their dogs run wild all the time. Whenever I go to someone's house for the first time, I always have to ask if they have dogs. And then explain WHY I want to know if they have dogs and if they do, can they please lock them up somewhere. I've never been bitten by a dog in my life, so I don't know where the phobia came from. I have gotten some control over it, so that if I'm faced with a situation with a strange dog I don't have a panic attack, though.
I also have a fear of heights (I don't like flying but I can, and I can ride rollercoasters if I make sure I don't look down. The ferris wheel...forget it). I used to have major arachnaphobia too, but if the spider is small, I can deal with it. Large spiders, and large centipedes too, scare the hell out of me. Hubby thinks its funny when I scream and squeal when I see large spiders.
