Yes, Sammy dog is afraid of fireworks and storms and every other loud noise thing too. He didn't go with us today. However, my nephew had his new young Doberman with him, and he wasn't phased by the hectic atmosphere we had going on, along with occasional claps of thunder. He was schooled a bit (very gently) by my sister's German Shepherd. He's going to outweigh her by quite a bit -- he promises to be huge -- so it was a good thing to see India put him down a few times to keep him from getting too big for his britches! And he knew the drill, too -- he would only go so far with taunting her, then he'd drop to the ground and roll over. It was fun watching them establish boundaries with one another.
