McMug and Badminton
I didn't realise McMug is afraid of the sound produced when a racket hit the shuttle cock until that night when my dad and I brought him for his usual walk. At first we wanted to watch some teenagers play badminton at the court. So we took a seat at the metal bench. Then McMug began to walk away, pulling against the leash. No matter how hard I tried to hold him back, he just continue his attempt to walk away. I tried carrying him and he struggled.
At first I was wondering what happened to him, then I realised what he was afraid of. Dad tried to calm him down, then later wanted to force McMug to get use to it. Poor McMug.
This remind me of some adults trying to "desensitise" children with sensory defensiveness and put them under great distress and pressure. I know my dad meant well, but I really couldn't take it. So I ask my dad to let me take McMug away. Thanks my dad for understanding.
Finally did McMug return back to his normal self. His daily walk should be happy and relax isn't it?
