As I write this, Bitsy, my terrier mix is about to have a heart attack because of the storm. It's rained for 5 days straight here in Tampa and Bitsy has been miserable. I went to the vet today and got her some homeopathic anti-anxiety drops which help a little but not totally. I don't coddle her or even look at her and I behave very calmly but she is just terrified. Scooter, however, is completely oblivious of what's going on. He is playing and acting like nothing is wrong. I feel so sorry for Bitsy and any animal that is so fearful of storms.
