Dogs

Nicky and Nora are litter mates. If she had opposable thumbs, Nora would already have taken over the world.

Nicky seems more like a genial surfer dude. But thunder scares him. He also is a very smart dog and has worked out that the safest places from thunder are either the floor of Sis's shower or in the guest bathtub.

Tonight, we were watching tv when an unexpected thunderstorm hit. I heard some noise, and recognized that it was Nick getting into the tub. Bedtime came and Nora goes trotting after Sis, but Nicky has found safety and won't leave it.

The lad will have to put up with my late night visits to the bathroom, which gives me a chance to check on him. But it's still a bit disturbing to suddenly see eyes peering out of the tub.

I can't remember, what breed are Nick & Nora?

One difference between dogs & cats is that cats frequently/invariably accompany one to the bathroom, or run ahead to jump in the tub and stare.
