[QUOTE="donna723, post: 413293, member: 1883"] Was she a rescue when you got her, or a stray that might have been outside on her own for a while? My mixed breed, Freebie, was a little stray who came in to my yard when she was a 6-7 month old pup who apparently had been dumped and had been wandering on her own for a while. She's ten now but has always been very afraid of storms. She's thoroughly a house dog now but when I lived in the country she preferred to stay outside all day but would sleep in the house. For years, if there was a storm when she was outside, instead of wanting to come in the house, her first instinct was to crawl in to the bushes and hide there, just terrified. It's what she learned as a puppy when she was on her own. I was out there so many times in the rain and the wind, trying to entice her out of the bushes and in to the house. But she finally got over it. Now if there's a storm, she still doesn't like it but she will crawl into the security of her crate and watch TV! [/QUOTE]
