I have always thought that my dog was afraid of thunderstorms, that is until this morning. The reason I have thought she was afraid of them is because she would always come and lay at either Jeremy’s or my feet. But this morning around 4am we had a pretty strong storm come through.
I was woken up at the waaaayyy too early time of 4am not by the storm but by Kiki. We have a baby gate up in our hallway to keep the dog from going into the kids beds at night (she loves sleeping with them) but she knocked that down which startled me, so I got up shooed her off and put the gate back up. Well she was determined, she knocked it down again and trotted into my room and put her wet nose in my face. I figured that she was scarred so I brought her blanket into our room for her to sleep in there with us. She wanted nothing to do with her favorite blanket instead she was “making the rounds” she would walk into the kids room and hop on the bed,hop down, come into my room over to my side of the bed then go over to Jeremy side of the bed. She repeated this for well over an hour. Every now and then she would stop for a few min next to my side for me pet her but as soon as she saw lightning she was off making the rounds again. The only thing I can think of is that was her way of protecting us. Now I am not a dog expert or anything but that’s what I think was going on. I love my doggy. Even if she is waking me up at 4am…
