The warm weather brought thunderstorms from the east. They typically stay in the hills away from our village- but this time they ventured into the flats. There were two strikes of lightening not far from my home. Thunder within a few seconds afterwards. I went out to comfort the pups. The storm came in so quickly, I didn't have enough time to find all of the cats and ferrets- and separate them so I could bring the dogs inside. But I couldn't leave them in the storm by themselves, so I sat outside with them. We huddled through on the side of the hill, and watched the clouds and rain pass by within ten or so minutes. It was the first thunder the dogs have heard, so it terrified them. Luckily, it passed quickly- and we've all settled in for the rest of the night.
