So tonight it was storming—thunder and lightning, the whole shebang. I knew from before that Maggie doesn’t like storms, but she isn’t usually too bad—she likes to come hide with me, try to get behind me on the couch, that sort of thing. I usually keep her occupied by playing fetch.
But last night it was pretty bad, and something struck and messed with the receiver (I was watching TV, so it was on) and the sound went HAYWIRE, got very loud and fuzzy, and it scared the shit out of her (hell, it scared the shit out of me!) :)) and she was shaking and trembling and panting (complete with tongue hanging out). She wanted to hide but didn’t want to get under the blanket, she wanted to sit on my lap but didn’t want to stay, she wanted me to give her attention but didn’t want to let me hold her, she wanted to sit on top of the couch behind my head but she wanted me to help her get up there!
I would just get her calmed down a little, but she was still panting like crazy and shaking like mad. It was really scary for me to see her like that—I knew she was just scared and had been frightened, but I just kept thinking something else might be wrong (which of course it wasn’t). After about 15 minutes, she finally layed down on my lap and after about an hour, she finally stopped shaking. Poor thing!!
So, is your TV okay? Hope nothing fried it.
The TV seems to be fine—we have everything on a surge protector, so I have no idea what happened.
