will be 7 in October. He never used to react to storms, but now he hyperventilates and tries to climb into my body. Just being next to me is not enough. He just freaks out. Earlier this year we had one storm that went on for well over an hour, lots of thunder, and he was inconsolable. Our other dog, Charlie, goes under my son's desk and sits on his feet.
