It’s going to be a long night. 

NOAA says thunderstorms on and off until morning.  Sparky has been stressed for a few hours, and I’ve used up all my thunderstorm relaxation tricks.

When Sparky got bored of watching me vacuum, I let him sit in my truck until he figured out we weren’t going for a car ride. 

I was hoping the rough weather would end before bedtime.  Sparky is going to be panting all night.  I know I can crate him and shut my door.  You can do that with a little kid also, but that doesn’t mean you should.
