.. she catches and eats those little mediterranean geckos we have on our light-colored brickwork, or the brown beetles that bang on the windows, then hurks them up later, preferably when everyone's sound asleep.

As to the whining, perhaps just cuddle her? One of our doxie mixes hates storms, and he ends up being a vibrating hat, thundershirt or no. We do have a sedative we give him when he gets particularly bad.

I wouldn't necessarily connect the weeping from her eyes as 'crying'. We have another doxie mix who is always getting her face washed because her 'tears' tend to crud up the fur under her eyes. Multiple vets have said it's normal, no infection.
