thunder and lightning, and my poor labx
has come running up to the attic and is hiding in the corner, shaking. He never used to be afraid of thunder, until something local took a direct hit. The explosion was so loud I thought it was a tree next to my house. It wasn't, but now whenever he hears rumbles in the distance, he starts shaking.

He's been shaking off and on since last night. I heard knocking earlier -- it was his elbow banging the floor he was shaking so hard.

Poor pup -- it started up again this morning while we were outside for a little pee and play. He ran to the *highest* spot on my property (other than the roof) -- the remains of a once 10 foot high snow bank -- and stood up there shaking. I could see him shaking from 20 feet away.

2. You should go get some doggie valium
We got some for Pip, and it takes the edge off. :(

3. One of my doggy friends, Lily, goes into the bathroom
whenever it starts to rumble.

My parents' crazy dogs tear the house apart to get in when the thunder starts and they aren't home. They have a doggy door to their own room with beds,but yet they tear the windows out of the frames to get into the house.
