Sleepless in South Georgia

Last night's thunderstorm kept us from getting much sleep, but not for obvious reasons: Andy has developed a ...THING about thunder. Every time there was a lightening bolt, which was often, he leapt from under the covers and started barking.

We tried to calm him down, but he couldn't stop trembling. Or barking. Last Fourth of July at Amelia Island, the fireworks display on the beach completely unnerved him, and that's probably where this little phobia came from.

After a while, I carried him into the living room, where I dozed, and he shivered and barked until the storm had passed.
