I am expecting thunder

Owing to atmospheric conditions I am spending a lot of time panting & preparing to hide either in the bath or the downstairs loo (not in the loo itself, you understand, just the room). It is difficult to enjoy gravy bones when this anxious.

I'm sitting at the top of the stairs

From here I can make sure that I'm covering each step in muddy paw prints. I love rain. But not thunder.
