What does your dog do....

When it storms? Reason I ask, my neighbor has a female Blue Healer that has always barked when a thunderstorm came through, mostly at the lightning.

Well yesterday afternoon, a thunderstorm came through and I kept seeing this dog run across my yard, barking. I watched her and realized that she was chasing after the thunderclaps!
She ran across the road towards the southwest after one big clap and dang near got run over.

Our little dog gets nervous during a storm, running here and there, eventually hiding under a table.
What does your dog do?

That would make a hilarious video! (not the almost getting run over part, the chasing part)

Thunderstorms: One male hides, one male looks worried, the b!tch eats all their food.

Minnie heads for her crate and hides. Cricket, the pup, hasn't experienced a thunderstorm yet so her behavior is to be determined.

She doesn't do anything special. Just lays there for the most part. I don't think t-storms bother her. Now if you're shooting off fireworks, it's a different story. Barking, whining, trying to catch bottle rockets as they take off.

The cats on the other hand, they disappear completely. If they could I think they'd dig their own bomb shelter in the floor of the basement to get even lower under cover.

T storms don't bother my dog.
If she hears car doors slam she will run to the front door like she is gonna eat sombody.
The doorbell on tv will set her off also.

Sound like my 'Dawg". I hate those pizza commercials on TV. Dogs are supposed to have such great hearing, but he can't tell the difference between the TV or the real thing.
He just sleeps through storms.

My older dog runs down to the basement and hides behind the water heater. The younger once barks everytime it lightnings.

The two dogs I have right now. One is just totaly oblivious. The other will climb up your butt if she could. Now, the dog I talked about in a previous post. He would go to the back door and wait for me. Why? because I love a good lightning show and so did he. I would crack a beer and he would sit right by my side, and we would both just watch the sky.
