Well tonight was our first experience with Charley and Lightining. Let's just say the two do no mix very well.
We had just arrived home from small group and my wife, Casey, was concerned with how Charley would react to the lightining we had viewed on our drive home. As we opened the door to the back yard we found him running through the yard, under and over bushes barking at the flashes of light and the clangs of thunder. Now Casey is deathly afraid of lightining and thunder so I know it was hard for her to go outside to calm Charley down.
After a while trying to calm him down we decided to just bring him inside and wait it out until we could put him outside where he would not be victim to a stray electric bolt. We bribed him with dog treats, deli ham, bread, chicken then finally we got out the Kong toy. For those that do not know what Kong is just equate it to cat nip for dogs.
After about an hour of hushing and bribing the storm had passed so we let him out to relax and see that all was still well.
