Thunderstorms....
« on: June 06, 2011, 12:43:21 AM »
So the Mrs. and I are sitting here watching TV, cuddled up on the couch, and we see a big flash of light out the windows.  And then hear the rain start.   So now the lights are all off, and we're watching out the windows and counting the time between flashes and thunder, going OOOH, and AAAAH, enjoying God's fireworks show.   :)

And right now, we're *REALLY* glad our dog isn't freaked out by thunderstorms.  In fact, he has just about zero noise sensitivity.  :)

He's sprawled out on the couch between us, snoring......

Sounds like a good evening! 

Our dog hides in the bathtub when we get a (rare) thunderstorm.

Oh, sure!  Hide in a big metal tub connected to the Earf by cold water pipes and other stuff that will conduct the electricity righ through his wagging little tail!

Haven't you explained about lightening being electricity and stuff to the pooch yet?  At least show him that cartoon of Ben Franklin flying the kite.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Our dog is more frightened of baths than thunderstorms.
