A Storm Just Passed Through.

Yep, we had a thunder and lightening storm pass through here a little while ago.  My oldest pup is deathly afraid of anything that goes bang.  Yes, she is the one that had a tough time on New Years Eve.  Thunder storms also make her shake uncontrollably.  She was laying beside me in my rocker/recliner and she shook so hard it felt like a vibrating chair.  No amount of consoling helps.  Just the silence after the storm, then she settles down.  She is now sleeping soundly, well maybe not soundless since she snores, beside me and seems quite content.  I feel so helpless when this happens.  Nothing I do, petting her, holding her tight, or telling her all is OK, seems to help.

Way back when I was in college, I got a call from my Mom and Dad letting me know that my beloved Boxer dog had died of a heart attack during a thunder storm.  I am so worried that the same thing will happen to my rocking chair buddy.  She is getting up in years and I am not sure how many thunder storms she can take.  You know, maybe she is tougher than I think she is.

The other two pups aren't bothered at all by thunder storms.  They are not as intelligent as my older pup is.  Maybe it pays not to be too smart.  Maybe that is why I ain't afraid of thunder storms (unless they are spinning off tornadoes).  Or I would rather think it is because of my Mother.  My Mom was terrified of storms but would never show it in front of me when I was growing up.  She would tell me to look out at the storm, that it was beautiful.  It worked.  Thanks Mom.  Now I hope all your skies are blue with no black clouds.  Have a great day, you hear?

  1. My life became devastated when my husband sent me packing, after 8 years that we have been together. I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to make my husband take me back. One day at work, i was absent minded not knowing that my boss was calling me, so he sat and asked me what its was all about i told him and he smiled and said that it was not a problem. I never understand what he meant by it wasn't a problem getting my husband back, he said he used a spell to get his wife back when she left him for another man and now they are together till date and at first i was shocked hearing such thing from my boss. He gave me an email address of the great spell caster who helped him get his wife back, i never believed this would work but i had no choice that to get in contact with the spell caster which i did, and he requested for my information and that of my husband to enable him cast the spell and i sent him the details, but after two days, my mom called me that my husband came pleading that he wants me back, i never believed it because it was just like a dream and i had to rush down to my mothers place and to my greatest surprise, my husband was kneeling before me pleading for forgiveness that he wants me and the kid back home, then i gave Happy a call regarding sudden change of my husband and he made it clear to me that my husband will love me till the end of the world, that he will never leave my sight. Now me and my husband is back together again and has started doing pleasant things he hasn't done before, he makes me happy and do what he is suppose to do as a man without nagging. Please if you need help of any kind, kindly contact Happy for help and you can reach him via email: happylovespell2@gmail.com

    2. I've had a couple of husbands I could have used a spell to get rid of!

  2. I wonder if a "thunder jacket" would help your dog? Our daughter's dog was like your little girl... terrified. Something about being tightly wrapped in that (looked like a straight-jacket but legs weren't confined) made him less stressed out. Their worry was that a storm would come up while they were at work. I know... you'll do anything to keep you "kids" safe...

    1. Tried that and it didn't help. Nothing helps, and believe me, we have tried everything we could think of.

  3. I was afraid of thunderstorms until I reached my 20's; it was the lightning I was afraid of.
