After reading these posts I realized how lucky we are with our puppy Jasper.
He is just seven months old this week, so maybe he is just too young to be
afraid. The thunder and lightning don't phase him one bit. We had a real New
England type NorEaster last week, complete with high winds, sideways rain,
and one verified funnel spout. During a lull in the storm I let him go out
in the yard to do his business. He was having such a good time running
around in the rain that he refused to come inside. I had to physically go
out and bring him in.
