Are your pets afraid of thunderstorms or do they just ignore them?

Teddy doesn't even notice them.

Luka is terrified of them, the others could care less.

I voted only the really bad storms cause snugges usually could care less unless it is really dark. When they happen at night though she curls up right next to me as if she is just making sure I am still there!

LOL AWWWW

It's funny actually cause I am the one afraid of thunderstorms in this house. When I was younger I had a miniature schnauzer and it was like a race to see who got to my mom's room first after the first crack of thunder

[critter crazy]

I have never had a pet afraid of storms! My SIL had a shepard mix, that had to be sedated if there was a storm!! If she wasn't sedated she would tear the house apart!!!

[shihtzulover850]

I love thunderstorms! The lightning and the thunder excite me. Not many in my family like them though.

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

YES!! They terrify Tinky and Jupiter. They make a mad dash to get under the bed during storms..

I'm scared of them too. So much for them being my comforting heroes!!

Mine don't even notice them because I have NEVER made a big deal about them. To the dogs, its just something else going on but nothing to be feared. I never coddled them or babied them during thunderstorms, so they don't even know they should BE afraid of them.

[IRescue452]

Nope, never had an animal that was. We are a family of storm chasers though so more often then not the dogs are out with us. Autumn does prefer to have a raincoat when she goes out in the rain. She wait for me to put it on before going out.

Lol..I voted for the "Yes, always" option and didn't even see the "some aren't, some are" option until I voted and that's the one I should've voted for.

Tango is absolutely terrified of any loud noises or weather changes, so yes, she's afraid of thunderstorms...I'm not really sure why, as we've done nothing to make her this way but I think it may be in her genes because her mom aswell as her littermates are all afraid of everything she is too.

The others coudln't care less, they're fine.

[sammy101]

Kodie could care less but Lucy gets a little bit scared.

[Lady's Human]

Lady is currently hiding behind Jen (LOH) as we have thunderstorms in NY, so I would say yes, she is afraid of thumperboomers.

[todd]

Yes, ALWAYS

We just had some horrible storms go through and the thunder and lighting were non-stop. Bella and Ripley were up on the sofa looking out the window at the lightning and barking at the thunder. The cats scattered - one ran upstairs and one ran downstairs.

I remember when Teddy was about 6 months old we had our first BIG thunderstorm. It was the remnants of one of the florida hurricanes last year. It was like a monsoon outside and the thunder and lightening were insane. It woke us up at about 3 am and Teddy did not sleep in the bedroom with us at that time. So we thought we better go check on him just in case (of course at this point I am a basket case cause I am terrified of storms) This was his first major storm and he was just a baby, we figured he would be terrified as well. So we get out of bed turn on some lights and walk down the hallway to teddy's room. No sound coming from the room. So we open the door and peek in. No Teddy at the door. We walk into the bedroom and he is FAST ASLEEP in his chair lol. He woke up and looked up at us like "what do you want? it's time to get up already?" lol
