Mikey is absolutely terrified. He barks all day if it's thundering out. It's ONLY thunder and lightning though. Last night during Irene, he wasn't barking or crying or anything because there wasn't thunder. He was put on Xanax for it, didn't work, and then she offered him some kind of sedatives for both thunder and fireworks and it didn't work. If anything it made him MORE hyper.

Poor guy. Yeah, there wasn't any thunder or lightening during Irene. Which was good, seems to scare some of the fur-pets.Originally Posted by Alysser
It is odd how some are so sensitive to it and others aren't!
We do have one good sized tree limb down in the back yard -- Willy spotted that immediately this morning when they went out to pee. He barked at it, all his hackles up -- he knew it didn't belong there!"Move branch, get back in that tree, NOW!".
My crew are fine, unless (for the dogs) it starts to thunder. Taffy gets jumpy with things that sound like fireworks.
Lots of love all around to them all, the storm is over now!

Cassie, my cat, will hide under my bed or in her special spot in the closet. She doesn't like any loud noises (thunder, fireworks).

Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

Storms don't faze Myndi in the least. She slept thru the earthquake in her usual spot under my desk, and only protested having to go out in the rain during the hurricane because she didn't want to get wet, and thunder doesn't bother her at all.
Sparky seems to be outgrowing the fear of thunder that he developed a few years ago. He no longer cries and wants to be picked up at the first little rumble. I don't even have the foggiest, where in the house he was during the earthquake, and he didn't like the heavy rain and wind gusts of the hurricane when I took them both out. Other than that, it didn't bother either one of them.

To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

Two of my dogs are afraid of storms, the rest don't mind them. None of them are too happy if they need to go out to potty in the rain, though.
My horse, Ruby, hates getting wet so she stands under cover where she can stay nice and dry. Our boarder horse, however, loves to run and play in the rain and often tries to convince Ruby to come play too.
My chickens don't really like getting wet either and they also stay under cover when it's raining.
The rest of my crew never seems fazed by storms at all.
