Reply #28: My dog is terrified of thunderstorms

[Bouncy Ball]

and she starts her scared behavior when I don't even have any clue a storm is anywhere near. She stays right next to me (under my feet), trembling, tail tucked under. The first few times she did this, I thought "Silly dog, there isn't even a storm!" and not 30 minutes later a HUGE storm right over us.

So now I know she must either:

1. have WAY better hearing than I do and can hear distant thunder before I can or

2. in some other way, she senses it.

Dunno.
