Thunderstorms seem to terrify some dogs,a dn others are not bothered by them at all. Chipper could care less if it is storming or not (at least as long as he doesn't have to go outside and go to the bathroom in the pouring rain), and he just curls up beside me the same as always and lets the storm rage outside.
When we have storms coming in, I usually take the dogs outside just before the rain comes so they can actually do any bathroom chores before the storm starts and not need to go outside again until the storm has passed over and the rain has stopped.
We used to have a little Pekinese mix, and that poor little dog was just terrified whan we had any loud noises. the friday night ball games at the nearby ballpark usually ended with fireworks, and if she happened to be outside, she was attacking the screen door to be let in at the first boom of the fireworks.
Holidays like the Fourth of July, she pretty much lived in the house (under the bed preferably) and only went out for necessary bathroom trips.
What does your pet think about storms and fireworks ?
