I'm not sure what good barking at thunder is supposed to do, but she rarely acts afraid. The border collie's just a thunder wimp, but if a tornado came through she'd probably be the only survivor.

I was doing some reading on why my girl got in the habit of now barking at people we walk past while on walks.

They sense danger so they bark. Danger eventually goes away. Viola!

It would break my heart to have to send mine away, even for a short time like you had to. I look forward to coming home after work to the grand ritual of welcome that awaits me.

I'm so happy I can't stand it.

The budster is already figuring the storm out.He's trying to curl his overweight ass into my lap as we speak.


GOT MY BABY BACK!

NEVER again will he leave my side

Charleston got a gentle rain (so far) and fatass slept through the night (on the bed).
Our biggest worry was buddy and katie having a border war over who got to sleep between the pillows (Katie still wins )

The boys are back together.They had a ball getting reunited last night.Katie terrorized him all evening.

Life is good
