It’s as grey as the inside of a Dalek out there, this end.

Very loud continuous thunder and lightning here, and one very worried little dog.

You need to be excited and thrilled about it. Show the dog how much fun a storm is. I taught Buschka to bark at the thunder.

I played games with Winnie during storms when she was young. She ignores storms mainly, or fetches the squeakiest ball for a tug of war. If there is a particularly close strike she widens her eyes but that’s about it.
I didn’t want a repeat of our Jack Russell when the kids were growing up, she was petrified of storms, squeezing herself into the smallest spaces, shaking, or bolting out the door if it was open.
