Mona is pretty upset about the thunder storms. I was awakened at 6 am because it was so loud, just rolling on and on with sharp cracks here and there. I knew she was hiding in her cage, poor girl. I am pleased that she is using her cage again, after ceding it to Daphne for a year. It was just a day or two before she went in it, but when Daf was here Mona never went in it at all. When Mona was a pup and first heard thunder, she was inconsolable. She looked at me as if to say, "Don't you lie to me and say it's okay. You can't save me from that out there!"
Anyway, when the thunder is not going, Mona is still tentative because it could start up again. Plus, it is Independence Day. Hopefully this new neighborhood will be quieter than our last one, where the fire crackers started in May and went through September.
I took her to the lake yesterday so at least she had some fun before these days when she'll be staying in more. I met this great woman who was promoting fabbseattle.com, Families Against Breed Bans. I saw a poster in my neighborhood and was excited that we have that kind of vibe here. She's pretty serious-- she staked out and caught a couple vandals who were trying to deface the sign. Glad to meet her! I want to get more connected with right-on dog people in the north end. I sure miss Family Dog, but it's a relief not to drive so far weekly.
Just in case anyone is reading, don't forget to confine your dogs for July 4th!
