Good Vibrations

Boy have we had some doozy storms so far this Spring. We had a big one whip through last night around 2:00 a.m. and it kept us up well into the early morning, as two more bouts came through one right after another.

Our poor dog Tubby is just scared to death of the storms. When the wind starts blowing and the thunder starts booming, you'd think it was the end of the world by the way he acts. Last night when the first crack of lightning shook the house, poor little Tubby jumped up in bed with us quicker than Jumpin' Jack Flash! He crawled in between the two of us and started shaking like a leaf. It felt like our bed had turned into one of those fancy vibrating beds the hotels have! We couldn't calm him down at all. His eyes were glued to the nearest window and every time he saw a flash light up the sky, he started shaking even more because he knew that boom was right behind it. Poor little guy.

He hates it even more when the weather person is on the screen and all those colored maps are tracking the storm. He watches that tv with his head bobbing up and down like he can understand what they are saying. You just wonder what all the thoughts are going through his head.

But since it's just now April and May is right around the corner, I imagine we'll have plenty more storms to come to liven up the household. I just hope poor Tubby can endure it without giving himself an ulcer.
