Two words that strike fear in many a dog's heart. At class, we've shared many tips and tricks for acclimating our dogs to the sounds to prevent storm anxiety (and its cousin, fireworks anxiety). Thankfully, Belle has shown no such anxiety. In fact, just the opposite. The other night, the storm that nailed the Fair Grounds rumbled through our neighborhood at 4:00 AM as well. She went to the door and grined (half growl, half whine) at me - her usual method of telling me she has to go - bad!
Given the storm, I didn't want her out with her Invisible Fence collar on so I slipped her leash on and went out with her. She didn't have to go - she just wanted to play! She was hopping through the puddles, dashing this way and that as far as the leash would go, and finally, when I woke up enough to realize what she was doing I dragged her back in the house.
When we got inside, she lay down in her "I'm so disgusted with you" pose and glared at me. I showed her! I rolled over and went back to sleep.

And I've also done Johnson & Johnson TV commercial India in February. Still waiting for it to be ready. Suppose to be this month but I don't know why the people are soooo slow!
