Shelter from the Storm


Sierra, a rescued Elkhound who has lived with us for 11 years and 13 year old Sulatna, from Alaska, are both scared in thunder storms. Last night we had five dogs sheltering in the house from the wild storm that thrashed trees to the ground. It was a wonderful deluge of rain, so needed.

Sierra and Sulatna comforted each other on the softest sofa in the house. The power went out for an hour and it was a bit frightening for them. The outside dogs all headed for their houses when the first thunder clap boomed. One pen was very flooded afterward and I moved the dog for the night (Yo), but since the ground is so porous, the water quickly drained in most places.

The best outcome was reducing the fire danger and watering down the dust that was getting so deep, the bowls were getting buried.
