Smokey could be the poster boy for storm phobia, at least he used to be.
he still gets nervous but has discovered the bathroom is his safe place.

Maggie doesn't like storms either but she's never paced, panted heavily,
like Smokey used to do.She found her safe place right away & stays there
and sleeps till it's over. (under the dining room table)

I really do believe in the drastic cases, meds do help. I guess each dog is
different.
