I took the above photo about 10 mins before I went off to bed.
About an hour later there was a short period of thunder, lightning, and heavy rain. Bok HATES storms, and came to join me on my bed. Freddie also turned up; but he always does.
So, I ended up with a dog on one side of me, and a cat on the other.
Not the most comfortable way of trying to sleep.

I hope none of them snore.
We too finally had a little rain here last night, fine drizzle; it has been a very dry winter.
Greetings Maria x
And the little one said
Roll over
Roll over
So they all rolled over
And Cro fell out
We've had some rain, but not enough. I have known it rain for weeks on end through Spring.
I tend to lie very still for fear of disturbing them. I should just throw them off. I did take Bok downstairs after it was all over.
They don't want you to feel lonely while Lady M's away.
No wind I hope ;)
Bok's very caring.... you may well be right.
None indoors anyway!
I used to have a Rottweiller / Doberman, and she was a big dog! So what she used to do was slink under the duvet when I was asleep and I would wake up in the morning with her tucked up beside me. Unfortunately, due to a messy divorce, she had to be rehomed. We don't let our rottweillers sleep on the bed. We'd have to sleep on the floor if they did!
I think it is an Australian term, gunshy, to describe dogs who are frightened or alarmed by storms and thunder, fireworks and gunshots.
My immediate reaction was the same as Maria's in hoping that Bok doesn't snore.
Bok is missing Lady M snuggling up with him on the 6" of the couch he leaves for her.
I think no more rain here until next winter.
Bok isn't a BIG dog, but he tends to sleep right up against my back, so that I can't move. That's why I made him go downstairs again.
He hates anything loud, the ones you mention especially.
No he doesn't, but he does dream of running.
I think you're right. She makes more of a fuss of him than I do.
Goodness! We have a bit of everything on the horizon. Sunshine, rain, hot, and cold.
They don't want you to be lonely.
When they're worried,scared,or hurt they always go to the one they love,where the feel most protected. You lucky man.
They don't want me to sleep.
I don't begrudge him seeking our refuge; something must have spooked him when he was just a pup.
My cat doesn't know he's too big to sleep with me. He needs as much bed as I do. If I can get him to the floor, he stalks away to sleep with the kid.
Freddie just walks all over me, sleeps a bit, taps my head, walks all over me again, sleeps a bit more, etc, etc.
All my cars do that, four divided between the two of us.
Cats.
Welcome to my world
Sweet Bok! I love him!
awwww sweet cutie pie. The Square Ones never cared about the noise. They lift their heads and back to sleep.
cheers, parsnip
He was doing it again last night; at least being an insomniac I'm not actually asleep.
I did think of you when they were both there.
He's a lovely boy, I adore him.
He's not so bad now with sudden gunfire; he used to go crazy. Storms seem to trouble him most of all.
I love Freddie !
