I live in FL so we have thunderstorms almost daily in the summer. Our dog would go crazy and wine and pace the floor,drool everywhere, follow me everywhere. If there was no one home when the storm started she would open the door to the garage with her paw (the lever kind of handle). I would come home and find it wide open to a large 3 car garage that had the air conditioning "trying" to cool it. LOL...It's funny now.But if we were home I would put her in the laundry room with a radio on. She also hated fire works. We had to put her down last fall due to cancer. I miss her following me and giving her my last bite of my dinner everyday. She would sit and wait for it.
