Hello from DallasDogLife!
Is everyone loving this rain as much as I am? Even my dogs are liking the cooler (albeit humid) weather, as the concrete is much cooler on their little feet and they don't seem to mind the thunder and lightening at all. It seems to affect them in the same way it does me - makes me sleepy! For those dogs who get anxious during thunderstorms, try a calming ointment like Rescue Remedy or for more severe cases, see your vet for a prescription.
