Growing up my dad would run around the house unplugging things before a big storm. And my grandmother? Well, she was just plain terrified. She would hide in her stairwell. We’d sit there with her, waiting for the storm to pass.
My dog apparently does not like storms either. We’re due for a big storm and my Golden is pacing around the house, panting. He follows me to the kitchen, to the living room, to the garage. I step backwards bumping into him and realize he’s become a big, furry tripping hazard. He continues to follow me until I sit down again and he is at the chair, ready to lick any bare patch of skin he finds. After being violated by this 75-pound fur monster, I am ready for a margarita and a bath. The latter will have to wait because there is a storm coming so I’ll just settle for a margarita.
