Thunder and Lightning!

This is the first time it has been crashing since I had my puppers and kitty, and not a peep so far! And here I was thinking they would be a bit spooked. I guess they are made of tougher stuff than I thought!

How do your animals react during lightning storms?

Mine could care less. As long as they are inside they are good to go. They have never been scared of the thunder and lightning. Guess I got lucky with them.

It doesn't phase the Hoodlums!

Nice!

My aunt has a little lhasa apso who goes crazy during thunder and lightning, or fireworks... or even if they leave the tv on too loud.

The rats, rabbits and cats could careless- once in a while if we get a REALLY wicked thunderstorm the cats tend to hide under the bed, but that doesn't happen too often- and by then I usually have everyone in carriers in the basement just to play it safe- hehe.

Chester is horrified! Every clap of thunder, he stiffens up and L@@KS at me, ready to run. I tell him is soft soothing tones "It's ok baby, it is only thunder, It'll be ok, you are safe!" The "girls" could care less....if they are asleep, they continue to sleep undisturbed. (Yet, he is their protector and peace keeper...... go figure

)

My sister use to have a dog named Judy and she would run hide under the bed everytime a storm came.

My RB Penny use to jump on the fridge and take her paw, open the cabinet door and go in there and hide until it was over. That was the only time she got in that cabinet, during a storm!
