She would try to get under the sofa, but couldn't quite fit, so she'd wind up with her little tail-less backside sticking out, feeling safe and secure. Dogs are wonderful creatures.

We said goodbye to my old beardie six years ago (he was 15.5 years old) I got a new puppy about a year age who ignores thunder and lighting. My middle child has my puppy’s littermate who also ignores lighting and thunder.

but when we do, my cats are under the bed before the first clap even finishes.

I'm not a lover of thunderstorms either, but unfortunately I can't fit under the bed.

What sweet little puppers! So good of you to protect them! They need you. They are such precious little angels.

clean up inside.

Besides, they are so adorable, there is nothing they can do to make me upset with them. They are just such a blessing.

She's so good. She just cuddles up in your lap and she's so well behaved. I miss her! I miss my other niece, the Swiss Mountain Dog too. I wish I could have a dog here with me at home. Here are some pics of the babies from my last visit with them in Maine.

<----- I'm with nasty

You are such a good pooch parent, many of us need to console out pups albeit storms, fireworks.
