That is funny about the thunderstorms. Mikey hates thunderstorms. He can see a speck of a black cloud in the distance and he starts to freak out. He has to be inside on your lap (even though he is 65 pounds) But yet, he loves fireworks because he can smell the gunpowder. Every time we go hunting and the guns come out, he goes bonkers and starts barking like crazy. Too funny.
