Scary storm

Yesterday after all our adventures, we were home watching Wind in the Willows, the only light coming from a small table lamp and the flicker of the fire. It was really cosy and when the storm started I was in heaven. I love storms! Proper thunder, lightning, rain and in this case hail as well. It made being inside even more delicious. Unfortunately Mr Pluto is less of a fan of thunder than I am – in fact loud, scary noises generally don’t appeal. He weathered (some pun intended) the storm quite well considering, but was bothered and restless afterwards until he realised exactly what he needed to do to make himself feel better. He climbed on to the sofa, onto our laps and fell asleep. The place that our 27kg, Rottweiler x feels the most safe is on his mummys laps. We watched the rest of Wind in the Willows with no further interruptions...

(He's less adorable this morning after deciding that our new blue and white rug would look so much better with muddy paw prints all over it...)
