Thunder again-poor Herman

So it started again, the thunder and lightning. Last night when we were about to go to bed I yet again saw the lightnings. In the beginning our old dog Herman didn´t notice them and I prayed that he wouldn´t. I wanted to spare him from yet another night of fear and horror.

But after a while he woke up started to look up and listen. Then he started to shiver and pant. He then started to run around trying to get away from this horrifying experience. He is so scared of thunder so I fear he might get a heart attack or something. He is an old dog now and I don´t know how much of this he can take.

I opened the door to the boiler room because he feels more secure there. There are no windows so he can´t see the lightnings and the noise from the boiler makes the thunder go away.

We stay awake so he won´t feel alone. well it is impossible to sleep anyway. He is scratching on doors, trying to get in behind furniture, behind boards in the boiler room. Then his bladder gives in and he pees everywhere. And he is a dog who would never pee inside. Poor Herman.

Now it is calm and he dared to go out this on his morning walk and also ate some of his food. He is afraid for so many hours after. Now we hope there will be no more thunder for a while.
