Day 1188

Storms are not our friend! Scary, unknown, loud…I need Mommy! When the storms arrived last night, Gus was the first to let me know! He began to scratch at the gate of his crate, so I bounced up to see what was going on. Opening the door, he gave me a frantic look, grabbed his Snuggle Puppy and raced for the bed. Poor baby!

Personally, I love storms! The sheer power and literal electricity is exciting! Watching storms roll in is fascinating and humbling at the same time. The latter refers to how truly powerless and small we are. Humans haven’t been able to harness them yet!

Having said that, night storms are a different beast. We see the lightning and hear the thunder, but that’s about it. We have no way of visually predicting what comes next. For Goldens, it is even worse… they don’t understand the noise or flashes.

So, we simply snuggle our pups close and soothe them as much as possible. This too shall pass. Next, we will be watching for snow!!!! At least blizzards are a bit more silent!
