My dog experienced thunder for the first time at 2:00 a.m. last night. She decided to bark at it incessantly. Miracle of miracles, it did stop every time for a bit and then back it came. It was literally like Pavlov’s dog, barking = bad noise goes away. The thunder reinforced her behavior. If only she could stop the thunder. A long, loud night of rolling thunder, incessant barking. She weighs 10 pounds. She didn’t stop the thunder, just killed any chance of sleep for me for the remainder of the night. Yes, I brought her into my room, up on the bed for the remainder of the night. But what happens if I am not home? How do I calm her? Did I mention how tired I am? Really really tired.
I found a site that predicts storms. Next time, I will be prepared.
