My dog Sandi is absolutely terrified of thunderstorms. We have to give her a mild tranquilizer to help her stay calm whenever there is a storm coming. She can sense it way before we know it's coming. Her eyes glaze over, she starts panting, and her heart starts racing. We feel so badly for her! We are worried she'll give herself a heart attack or something if she doesn't get the mild tranquilizer.

Oreo isn't afraid of the storms, but if Sandi gets anxious, then he gets anxious, too. If Sandi is calm due to the mild tranquilizer, then Oreo remains calm, even without a tranquilizer.

Our cat, Angel, runs to the window to look out and see what all the commotion is about whenever it storms! She doesn't stay there long. In fact, up until last November when we had our roof repaired, she would go sit by an area where water was leaking into our house, and play with the water! Now that the roof is fixed and no longer leaking, it will be interesting to watch her reaction to storms this year. She won't have the rain inside the house to keep her amused!
