It's been a very loud thunderstorm

We've just had over 16 hours of some of the loudest thunder I've ever heard. Bet there are lots of poor scared dogalogs here at the moment (one of mine included)

I no it must be scarey but I do love thunderstorms and thats a stunning photo Xx

wow fab pics, i would be terrified how are kitta and izzy coping

love thunderstorms when am inside all safe and sound but 16 hours is a bit much

Kita as always slept through it, but Izzy gets pretty anxious and upset. I found her lying on the floor in our walk-in wardrobe in the dark today when I was hanging up washing (inside), she normally doesn't leave my side.
Janey did you check through all the pics, there area some amazing ones in there. Wish I had enough guts to go out and take a photo.

thats not a wise idea going out and pointing a peice of metal into the air while theres lightening about

That's why the people who take these pics amaze me.

Poor Izzy - last night when it first started she was still playing ball and was half way across the lawn running back to the patio when the sky just lit up and about 1 second later the biggest and loudest clap of thunder crashed overhead. She just froze.

poor babe its not nice when you cant stop the thing that is frightening them. how were you at getting her out after that

She just ran over to the open door I flew out of and spent the next few hours puffing and panting and trying to climb all over me.
We shut the doors and windows to try and reduce the sound of the thunder, but it didn't do a lot.
She's always been a bit of a woos when it comes to loud noises but I think she's much worse than normal.
The weather has settled a bit now, so she's relaxing more. I'm thinking of getting her one of those "Thundercoats" that Vanessa uses for Jethro.

That's some thunderstorm! The pics are amazing - numbers 28 onwards are spectacular!

Living in a notorious thunderstorm area (all summer), there is nothing worse than having your pet scared by them. Makes one feel so hyelpless. My old boy used to almost climb inside of me. Thank goodness Tyson seems oblivious so far.

OMG, has'nt it been terrible.

Hope Izzy is not so "on edge" now that things have calmed for a while. RoXy does'nt like this weather either and can sympathise with her.

Hope none of your dogs got too stressed out

I've just clicked through all the pics they are fantastic shots, never seen anything like that. We very rarely get any thunder or lightning here in Bedford. I would certainly put some of those on my wall.
