Awwwww. Poor 'lil Jasper Lily! Note to self .... dont invite JL to visit between June and August ..... thats how long the fireworks last in our 'hood. We hate them too. Lotsa barkin and hiding under desks. Yo! JL! Tell my mama to clean out her closet so we can fit in there! What a grrreat hiding place! 

And an earthquake on top of all those explosions! Earthquakes gotta be above a 4.0 for us to freak but yeah, we feel ya. Nothin quite like that rollercoaster feeling when the ground is supposed to be staying still! 

Hope you get some quiet time to recover!

Awww . . . poor little JL!!! I tell ya, you just never know about them. Harmony, a "gun" dog, was petrified of thunder and living here in tornado alley, there's plenty of that to go around! We finally conditioned her fears and she was okay with all the storms and such.

Now Melody, she was never, ever afraid of thunder, but let the hub-a-dub sneeze and HOLY CRAP ON A SALTINE!!! And let me tell ya, trying to get the hub-a-dub to sneeze on command to recondition her is NOT (I've been told) a reasonable request. So he's tried faking it; nope, didn't work. Then we thought, just don't sneeze so loud; nope, that didn't work either. He's actually held his sneeze to where his ribs hurt, and she still runs for the furthest corner of the house! It really is comical, but sad at the same time. She truly is scared to death!

But why is it that I can sneeze and she looks at me like I've grown antlers out of my head?

Give JL a big ole kiss for me!!!

Ok, I will try this again. The IPad kept eating my replies to this topic last night. Poor, JL. My first thought was oh no , those ears. They are like little megaphones on top of her head. Poor girl! So much noise in one day. Have not found anything that scares Daryl except Lucy when she goes on her run around barking fits. Lucy is not afraid, but goes nuts when I run the vacuum or the Swiffer. Chandler is afraid of clothes baskets and boxes. I do have a humorous story, We have an underground dog fence. Chandler has only ever been on the beep setting. That is enough to send him quivering into the house. He came to me one day, shaking, whining, panting. I honestly thought he was having a heart attack or something. He kept trying to get in my lap, no small feat for an 80 lb dog. I was ready to call the vet for an emergency visit because I was sure he had something very serious wrong. I mean this dog looked next to a seizure. As I went into the hall to pick up the phone, I heard it faintly. The dog fence buzzer was going off continuously. This happens when a wire is broken in the yard. I unplugged it and suddenly my shaking pitiful heap of a dog became completly himself. I guess they are all different. Mine seem to like to be in the room with me during storms, but don't seem real bothered. I sure hope JL has had a quiet couple of days to make up for her trauma this weekend. Scared or not, she is still photogenic. Hugs, Lori, Ty & Gang

I WISH Lucian would go into another room when I vacuum.  But oh no we can't have that...Lucian has to attack the vacuum while I'm trying to push it around....  I get so aggravated sometimes that I'm like either "get those darn huge paws out of my way or they're getting run over!"  Lucian's like the bratty sibling you wish you could send back...lol! 

Leland on the other hand always went to another room when the vacuum came on.  Heck he was on the move when he saw me get the thing out of the closet. 

It's amazing the differences in personalities!
