Sarah the Wonder Dog is terrified of thunderstorms, and we've been having a lot of them lately. In Kansas, most thunderstorms seem to happen late at night or in the very early hours of the morning. Sarah freaks out and wants to sleep in the bed with mom and dad. This would not be such a big deal, but she is a bed hog and during thunderstorms she shakes and gets up to pace all over Cathy's back every few minutes. After being woken up by Sarah at 2 and 3 AM a few nights in a row, Cathy finally moved her dog bed to right beside her to see if it would help any. Thankfully, it did. It seems like she is less likely to panic when Cathy is right beside her, and ever since her bed has been moved, she does not even try to climb in bed with us during the storm. She still wakes Cathy up with her whimpering, but a quick pat soothes that, and she's not walking all over her back anymore!
