   Yeah, more like the old duck and cover we learned in gradeschool I'd think..   
   except this would be duck and run :)

   Dogs are so sensitive to weather, it amazes me.. when we living in KY, our   
   Labs were our "early warning" system

   That's good.. I chuckled a bit though when reading your description of what   
   "nature" did to your home - not that it's anything to chuckle at, but it made   
   me remember thee damage those Labs did on the house there in KY.. darn..   
   Priscilla and Midnight (two female labs from the same litter) literally ate   
   the plasterboard and wooden floors .... thankfully our current full-breed   
   Lab, Toby doesn't care for plasterboard or wood.. But I've noticed our Lab mix   
   pup Sophie liking the taste of our floors here though Lol.  What they do is   
   lick the floor until the wood softens and then it's easy to dig through with   
   they're teeth   Sophie does notice when any thunderstorms, etc. are coming,   
   and makes sure to let me know .   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
