Weathering the Storm


There are not many pictures with this post. It all happened in the dark... well, most of it, except when the lightening flashed.
We haven't had any rain in this area in several weeks and temps have been above 100 degrees for the last two weeks, so the rain was a welcome sight. The lightening and thunder, however, were not so popular.
We have never really had any super stormpobic dogs, we still really don't, they calm down quickly when the storm has passed. There wasn't much sleeping going on when the storm was here though.
Soon after laying down, the storms started. Leo barked, Zuzu whined, Layla paced. I was petting Leo and Maggie off the side of the bed with Rosco tight up against my back and asked Leo if he wanted to come up on the bed. Within seconds, he was tight up against my front and I couldn't move. I was Leo's thundershirt. In the meantime, Belly was between our pillows and Asteroid was pressed against my head. We heard a ruckus at the bottom of the bed and Charlotte needed help getting up at the foot of the bed. Soon after, Gracie climbed up and then there were six. Even with a king sized bed....not much room for humans. In the meantime, Layla was pacing around the bed and Zuzu was alternately whining and, when we reassured her that things were ok, thumping her tail next to the bed. Maggie was in the Coolaroo on one side of the bed and Rannie was in the Coolaroo on the other side of the bed. The rest of the gang was sound asleep....
After the storms had passed, everyone went to sleep and slept soundly though the night. All was well....except - where did Michael go? Squeezed right out.
We are expecting more storms tonight. I hope that they're over before bedtime......
