Day: June 4, 2025

The sky opened up yesterday.

Pea sized hail, thunder rumbling, and suddenly heavy rain.

It was great.

The pup wasn’t thrilled, but also didn’t act afraid of the thunder. At one point he was lying next to the slider with his nose against the screen sniffing the air.

When the hail first started, he poked his head out, investigated a couple of hailstones then came back in to lay down in his favorite spot.

I’ve had dogs that were totally freaked out by thunder. This guy was completely nonplused by the strange noises from the sky.

After the rain stopped, we both went outside to try & figure out why there was a helicopter circling around our local area. I thought perhaps there’d been a lightening strike that started a fire. 

But after a few minutes of circling, the helicopter flew off and there was nothing else. Brief light rain and fresh air saw us into the evening.

The pup was a little bummed that we didn’t get to play ball as we usually do. 

Thunder was one of the concerns I had about moving back to the East coast with Jesse. Perhaps it won’t be a problem if I choose to make that move.
