My wife and I became the owners of my daughters female doberman mix, that she had rescued from a local shelter. Rhea became ours after my daughter went in to the Navy.
A few days in to our first week with us she jumped on the bed shaking almost uncontrollably. Was it a doggy nightmare? No idea, but after trying every thing we could think of to calm her down with no avail, the answer came soon enough... A thunderstorm! Day or night when she acts like this I can turn on the weather channel and sure enough a storm is coming. Whats amazing to me, even though I know a dog can hear better than I can, she will do this when the storms are still out in the middle of Lake Michigan hours away from our home.
Really glad we don't live farther SW in the tornado alley.
But be it during the extended July 4th festivities, with people shooting off all types of fireworks, I swear that dog sits calm as hell on the patio looking up with a OOOOHHH and AAAWWW type of glare.
Go figure
