As I am writing this, we are experiencing thunderstorms with deep thunderous noises and lightning.
Lily is right by my side glued to me. Thunderstorms distress her, and she remains glued to me. If it is nighttime and there are thunderstorms, she will hide under my bed, or she will jump on top of me in the bed to be as close to me as possible. I worry when she jumps on my bed that she will hurt herself jumping off it because I have an old antique bed. She needs to be close to me to feel safe, and when it is as extreme as it is right now, I just remain quiet and pat her gently, comforting her. It is part and parcel of her being a dog 🐕 to be distressed at thunder, so I will finish writing my blog and take care of her in her time of need.
