And now that you mention it, I'm starting to think as well that her getting used to the loud noises coming from outside might be another reason for her to be so calm in front of something simple like rattling keys or someone hitting a pot. The welding gun is so loud that we can hear it all over our house, but I doubt it's loud enough to cause any serious harm to her ears since we never let her out when there are people working outside. The rest of my dogs never seemed to have any issues with such noises as puppies, not even fireworks or the noise produced by a crowd in a baseball stadium.
I'll still take her to the vet to get her ears checked in case she got one plugged with hair. It seems that waiting until she almost turned 5 months was a bit too late for her first grooming session, according to what one of my sister's friends told her.
