My first thunderstorm alone!!!!
Good afternoon all, Izzy here!!!! Last night we had a thunder and lightening storm. Oh my, I heard it coming and woke Mom up. I gave her kisses and told her I could hear it coming. She hugged me and said, “It’s OK, we will get through it together.” Up she got and downstairs we went. Hank and Missy went outside together, then Mom and I went outside together. It was not raining, but the sky was flashing.
All of us went back inside and Mom got the bag she sleeps in and her pillow and laid on the floor for me again. I snuggled up next to her and rested. Mom fell asleep with her arm over me. I didn’t seem to be as scared as I thought I would be with out Ted. But you know, Ted was such a whimp when it came to storms. He would hide in the shower or tub or even behind Mom. He would whine a bit, then bury his head in the pillows, like that would really help.
Maybe I am not as scared of the storms as I thought I was. I guess I will find out when the next storm arrives. You know, fireworks and firecrackers scare me too. I heard Mom talking and I get to go to Grandmas with Mom and Dad when our village has fireworks next weekend. I will be able to see them but hopefully the noise will not be that bad. I will let you all know how I make out with that.
Until next time,
Izzy signing out!!!

Izzy, I’m proud of you. Your mom is pretty patient about this kind of thing, and you did a great job. I think by the end of summer, you may not care about thunder anymore.

we aren’t big fans of the storms and thunder either. snuggling together sounds like the best way to get through it, snuggling can fix alot of things.

Yes, snuggling is the best. Last night, someone decided to set off fireworks. I stayed in bed with Mom and Dad. They both snuggled with me. Hmmmm that was great.

Hey Izzy, you know I grew up in the ghetto, I got used to all dat noize. I hate it but I say whatever, those humans are the weird ones for liking to blow stuff up, don’t ya think?
You’re a tuff girl, you won’t be bothered by that nonsense anymore, right? Right! But hey, maybe acting a little scared is good so that way you get more time on the bed! Good plan, I say.

Wyattraydawd,
Those humans are stange ones. Some just love us dawgs others don’t. Some are very considerate of the noises they make as they understand the feeling of others. Some are just outright annoying. I am so lucky to have a Mom and Dad who are the best. They think about my siblings and I and what will affect us. They try very very hard not to put us in a situation that we cannot handle. I just love them for that. I wish all dawgs had that.
I certainly love the bed time, and cuddle time I get, but I kind of feel bad Mom is sleeping in that bag on the floor. I promised Ted that I would try and do better during those storms.
