Thunderation!

I worked 7-4 today, but had to take a quick break at 10:30 am to come home and bring Suki in from the back yard because it was thundering. When I arrived, she was very agitated, standing in the middle of a flowerbed, and shaking like a leaf. She was also panting heavily. I left her inside for the rest of the day, which seemed to calm her down considerably. This evening, the thunderstorms returned. Suki came upstairs, panting and shaking, and tried to hide underneath anything she could fit under (the shoe rack was the only thing). She was quite inconsolable, although I tried singing her lullabies and Avinash talked to her. Here she is in the corner of our closet. Now she has quieted down and settled on the couch for the night.
