It was awful! The worst storm this year. Thunder blasting so loud my ears hurt. Light flashing through the windows into the house, and the pounding, pounding, pounding on the roof. It was so loud – and scary. The worst part about it was that nobody was home except Scratchy and me. My people were both gone somewhere and Scratchy doesn’t care. He can’t protect me.
I had to do something to protect myself. I had to find a way to get away from it.
This door. Maybe there’s a way out through it. Can I do it? Can I get through it? Faster, faster. Gotta work faster. I’m scared. Whew! Made it. There’s a hole in the door big enough to get through. Noooo! Noooo! There’s no way out through here. This bath mat is just in the way. I’m tossing it out through the hole.
Maybe there’s a way through here. My paws hurt. No time to think about it. Up here. Maybe this is a way out. Maybe if I tear this metal thing with the knobs on it away. One knob fell off. What’s that sound? Now the water’s running inside here too. It’s the same sound I hear when one of my people bring a bunch of clothes in here. Maybe I can stop it. Let me pull the rest of this metal thing off.
Oh good. I hear my person’s car. She can protect me. Oh no. What’s she gonna say about all this mess in here? I’d better be quiet and hide out. Maybe she won’t find me. No good. She’s looking at me through the hole in the door. Oops!

Oh my poor friend. Your paws must be so sore. I hope you get your thundershirt soon. Or maybe you need your own special safe place like I have. I’ll keep my paws crossed for calm weather for you.

My paws did take a bit of a beating. I got my thundershirt today. I haven’t had a chance to try it on yet, but my person says no thunder is predicted for a few days.

Bongo, I really worry about you. You really must get a hold of yourself or you risk getting hurt. Thunder can’t hurt you. It is just a loud noise.

I feel like my house is a war zone right now. Slowly getting it back together.
