This is Layla, is anyone else scared of thunder? It is thundering right now and i'm a very scared girl. Mommy wraps me up tight in a blanket and holds me close but i still shake and cry. Is anyone else scared of the thunder??? What do your mommies and daddies do to make you feel better?? |
Hi Layla! I wasn't scared of thunder when I was a baby, but I am scared now! Go figure. I am also scared of the garbage truck. It's like a dinosaur going down the street. My mama fixed up my crate for me to hang out in when she is not home. I feel safer there. When she's home, I make her hold me REAL TIGHT! |
Me too!!!! About a month after I came to mommy's last year we had a bad storm that included micro-bursts and picked up the gas grill and dropped it on the other side of the deck!:eek: Wind, heavy rain and thunder storms scare me soooo much. Mommy wraps and holds me too but I still shake too.:animal-pa |
Hi Layla, this is Jake.:) I used to be scared of thunder, but I'm not now.:animal36 When I was a baby, my mommy would hold me and play with me, and then I wouldn't think about it anymore!:D But, my brother Jackson is still scared. He runs to mommy and cries.:rolleyes: |
I have one with severe storm phobia. It's so sad. Here's a couple recent threads on it. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ml#post1737681 http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...id-storms.html Mine has severe phobia, not just fears. The wrapping is the only thing that even makes a difference. |
Mine aren't but I read that you aren't supposed to baby them during the storm. Doing so makes them even worse. |
Hello my Layla bug, this is Simon. I'm not scared of thunderstorms so I will come over and protect you, ok? Love you~ |

we had bad thunder this morning.. Kayah was never scared of it.. but Evie stuck her butt so deep under my chest (I was sleeping).. I though she was going to have a heart attact.. I just held her tightly the way she was and soon it stopped |
Maybe it would be worth trying to get her attention on something else..... like a favorite toy.... doing tricks for a favorite treat... We had a mini schnauzer that I "babied" during bad weather .... and she was always so scared of storms.... I blame myself for that .... I made a big deal out of it and so she reacted in the way she thought best. When we got Shelby, I knew what I had to do. We played outside as storms were approaching (we could hear the thunder in the distance) and also tried to "ignore" storms when inside..... doing normal activities and not mentioning the "big booms". It has worked!!! These two don't even notice when it starts to thunder. |

OMG Marci, that made me cry. How sad. I'm an old toughie but I would have cracked at that one & wrapped her up & held her close. My "5" (I'm up to 5 & it's a long story) only get comfortable and take a nap when it's storming. We have friends that live on their 42' sailboat with a little maltese & whenever there's a storm she uses a baby snuggli (front pack) to tuck Chloe into. It workes well for both of them.

Conner was afraid of thunder when he was a little guy. I got his favorite toy every time it thundered and we would play. He is no longer afraid. He runs and grabs a toy when it starts thundering, and he expects me to play with him. |
Our Bichon used to be scared of storms, she would hide behind the toliet too. Slade isn't scared, he barks at them, silly boy! |
Bernie's not afraid of much...silly boy. Ginger just barks at the really loud thunder, but doesn't cower or hide. I do believe if you baby them they just get worse, but don't know what I'd do if one of mine were hiding behind the toilet.:) I'd probably rescue her too!!! |
