We got some thunder

[tamrock]

It rained and thundered here a couple days ago. It was just a little shower that kick up a breeze and short rain. Good for the plants and grass, but Bella doesn't like like it at all. She heads for the bathtub every time. Poor dog, it's only going to intensify, as we move further into this spring time weather.

Poor doggie, I had one that was terrified of thunder too.

Animals get scared of load noised like thunder, sirens, fireworks and the like.

I was in bed one night when we experienced a rolling earthquake...and suddenly our mini-poodle jumped and strattled me...scared shiftless...

If he could get under my skin he would have...

They need reassurance when this happens...

Nice photograph! Our little puppy would also run into the bathroom but not into the tub - she would squeeze behind the toilet. Thanks for sharing...

Smart dog. Every time y'all get rain, we get snow. Nothin major, but it's that nasty wet snow that's tricky to drive on. Maybe a couple more major dumps for us and then our 30 minutes of summer will arrive.

We have a half Australian cattle dog/half black lab. She is so afraid of bad weather. Anytime the wind is blowing over about 15 miles an hour, she'll not go outside until she just can't wait any longer. Even then, she'll stand, looking out the door, shaking like a leaf. I feel sorry for her and Bella!

That is the worst snow you can drive in!

Same thing happened to me Stefen except it was my wife that acted like that, not the dog. Tamrock, does he like baths??

Her ears must be quite sensitive, maybe when a storm is brewing you could put a pair of those ear plugs in her ears?

She doesn't like getting a bath, but she won't put up a fuss when she gets one.

I can tell when a storm is in the area ahead of time by the way she acts. She starts with being very insecure and follows me every were I go in the house. When the first boom from a lighting strike is heard, it's then off to her hiding places. When I first got her she wasn't bothered by storms so much, but the other dog I had was and I think she just began to pick up on his fears about storms and it just stuck with her. The new dog we got who is 2 years old now could care less about thunder storms. They don't bug him at all.
