I told her I didnd't think about the dog but I sure know it
scared me...I am not normally scared but the storm was just
so cracking so so loud that I actually leaped off my bed a
couple ot times..
she said the dog was just running around from room to room
everytime the crackeling stated..She said the dog looked like
he was going crazy the way he was jetting about...But my little
Grandson just grabbed him and held him near and kept saying..
"Good boy" over and over.. And after a while the choas was
over but so was the storm...LOL..oh by the way the dog is a
Pitbull and Mastiff mixed...yep, huge dog...scardey

Did you know that there are herbs you can give to animals to help calm them down? I have heard this on Martha Stewart and the Mark Marrone show too. You should check into it. If you know there is a storm coming you could give some to the poor animal and he won't be so bad off. We have cats and they hide under my bed.

bjc66bjc My daughter have a shih tuz and she is the same way when a storm is coming she starts to panting and growling she is noisey as can be. she is a storm predictor she knows before anyone else know when a storm is coming. Now I have a shih tuz and he could care less about rain or storm. He just don't like to get his paws wet. LOL

Well, we have a Pomeranian. He hates Fireworks, and they startle him to where he has to head downstairs where it is a little quieter, or he will head underneath the Bed and hang out. So I am sure that the few times we do have some Bad storms he will react and run under the bed or downstairs. All we can do is try and console him and wait for it all to end.

I do not have a dog. That one sounds like a handful. I know that they make a shirt for dogs called a thundershirt that is supposed to keep them calm, but I bet having your grandson hug him did the same thing for your daughter's dog.

Yes, my dog reacts to storms. He's also very scared of lightning and rumbling. He also comes running to me and wants me to hold him. If i'm not around, he hides wherever he can, like under the table or somewhere he thinks the storm can't see him.
It's understandable though; we are humans and we know it's the lightning causing all that noise. A poor animal who's indoors can't see and doesn't understand why the world has suddenly gone crazy, and how he should behave towards it.
