Dog Issues?

Last night we had some thunderstorms roll through the area. This is nothing new, its Iowa after all. We’re on the northern edge of Tornado Alley so we have more than our share of storms in the spring and summer months.

But for whatever reason, Dilly (the dog) has been waking up when the thunder starts to roll in. She typically will sleep at my feet but soon we are greeted with a dog wanting to cuddle higher up in the bed.

So far, this hasn’t been a huge issue. But I’m wondering if we aren’t going to have issues down the line. She has never really reacted to storms before but this new behavior has now happened during the last 2 major storms.
