Thunderstorms
May. 17th, 2004 09:10 amI have a love / hate relationship with thunderstorms. I love them; Mac, and to a lesser degree Josie, hates them.
This means that overnight thunderstorms cause insomnia - Mac paces! And I hear the click-click-click of toenails on the hardwood floor, and I wake up. And then can't fall back to sleep until he stops pacing.
It doesn't help to pick him up - he doesn't like to cuddle, and doesn't have the 'curl up against the human for protection' mentality. If I pick him, I can pet him and make soothing noises - but the moment I stop, he jumps back down to the floor and starts pacing again.
I love my dogs - but I admit there are times when they are a trial!
