Hmmmm. Let's see. Who's worse, me or Mz Logan?

I was a latchkey kid so if there was lightening, thunder, wind and dark skies, I was under the dining room table. We lived in a huge 3 story house with lots of trees. Hearing them whip the house drove me nuts. And that was daytime. I'm better now. I stopped coddling myself!!

Mz Logan, as you know hates flashes. I didn't understand what was going on when I first got her, since Mr Cody was fearless. She hides in the family room or I'll let her down the basement. I stopped coddling her too (I felt bad) and now I just tell her "rain, thunder! Get your (specific) toy" and distract her. She's much. much better. I think she knows she's OK. Took many years. (have to fight the temptation to hold her)
