Traumatized Pup

I was walking my dog one afternoon about a month ago, and a crack of thunder burst right over our heads. (It was cloudy, but no other sign of storm, or we wouldn't have been out.) Shamus freaked, of course, and since then he has been afraid of thunder.

Here in Fayetteville, fireworks are legal from July 1 through July 4. They sound like thunder to him, I guess. Anyway, he's shivering in terror for three or four hours a night, from the time they start (around 9:00) until the idiots finally quit (around 11:00).

Tonight should be a treat.
