My little dog, Lil Bit could care less about the storms, and like yours does not like to go out during the rain.
On the other hand, my neighbor, Brendan, has a big Golden Retriever and sometimes another guest dog at his house, Cooper is a big black lab. Both of them are afraid of storms. If they are out, and a storm hits, I will go and get them and bring them into my house. (Brendan and Rick, they guy that owns the black lab both work all day. I am home all day so watch out for the dogs for them) I am sure Lil Bit is thinking what sissies you guys are. LOL
Lastnight during the night there was a huge thunder storm, the thunder shook my bed. Imediatly I thought of Scooter, the Retriever chicken dog. But knew Brendan was home, and Scooter was probably in bed with Brendan! He gets that way. Big Chicken!
It is funny how a little dog like mine doesn't care if it thunders, and where the big dogs like Scooter and Cooper get freaked out about them/
