Every time I hear thunder, I think of Mr. Max.
Today I heard thunder during a light rainshower, and the memory of Max hiding in the bathroom came rushing over me. The tears began. I didn't stop them as I remembered. Has it been a month already? Almost.
Marti, of PorchStories, lost her dog Penny yesterday. Please go by and leave her a comment. I know she would appreciate it.

It is hard to lose a pet. They become a part of the family (and neighborhood in my case). My son accidentally shot my TomKitty a few years ago and it upset him more than it did me, I think. Everyone loved that cat. I'm sure you will always remember Max and miss him........alice
I sent my prayers this morning it is so sad
hugs

OOps I meant Marti, the dog is Penny.

(((hugs))) Our Jess is terrified of thunder as well. I have to admit I don't particularly like it myself! Will be sure to visit your friend Penny as well! Happy Sabbath day!

Even the biggest, toughest guard dogs are scared of thunder. My german shepherd will try to get inside the bedroom closet when he hears the slightest rumble!

Oh Bea, I know that feeling so so well. My wee Tamas was just the same, he woudl try to get himself into any tiny corner and like Mr Max the bathroom was a vafourite place. Nothing I did seem to be able to releve his panic. It use dto break my heart...although thunder he sure didn't like his eal horror was fireworks. I used to dread them. It is 7 years now since I had to let my dear Tams go but oh how I stillmiss him. (sorry Dee I still love you glad he can't read!!) Love Sybil x
The oddest things will stir memories of loved ones. And so long as we remember them they'll never be too far away.

Oh, Bea, it's so hard when those memories come flooding back. It's good to let yourself cry. Poor Max in the bathroom. He did look frightened. Can't say I blame him one bit. I hide during storms if I can. Grizzly is like that with high winds. I'll stop by Marti's. Hugs Chris
My prayers are with you. My Angel is scared of thunder too. {{}}

I read your entry on how Max reacted to thunder and it reminded me of my dog Frosty who got shot in her legs because she was chasing a farmer's sheep. After she recovered, thunder made her and her other dog companion who was with her shake and run! They thought they were under the gun again! Perhaps Max has some sort of association in his mind that Misty did not have when he heard thunder. Gerry
