Dogs really do have a sixth sense! ⛈️
I was so excited to see sweet Olive today—our very first day back together after her family’s vacation! She was so happy to see me and happily trotted along all the way to Aspen’s house. But right as we were leashing Aspen up, it was like a flip of a switch. Her tail went straight between her legs and she started shaking. I was looking around completely confused—the sky was still clear, I didn't hear a thing, but Olive knew somewhere in the state of Maryland there was rumbling coming!
We tried pivoting to a backyard playdate with her best buddy Adley to keep her close to home, but Olive made a direct beeline for the safety of the house. We listened to her cues and let her head inside where she felt safe and snug—my heart always aches for pups who get anxious over storms or fireworks.
Meanwhile, Aspen and Adley couldn’t have cared less about the rising wind! They happily went along on their neighborhood sniffari while the dark clouds rolled in and the distant thunder proved Olive right all along.
Off to walk Darling and Dashing along trails where we can quickly duck for cover if needed! Stay safe and dry out there, everyone. 🐾🌧️
