Dog vs. storm

The storm is moving in fast. The winds are picking up. Thunder rumbles in the distance. My phone is screaming with weather warnings. And I’m pretty sure I just saw “funnel clouds” on my smart watch.

Yet for reasons clear only to a dog, Calli the Wonderschnauzer has her nose buried in the grass of a neighbourhood park. Despite my gentle tugs on her leash, she digs in and keeps sniffing.

As the first drops begin to fall, she finally relents and we sprint the few blocks back to the house. Just as we get inside, the skies open up with hail and winds that sound like a freight train.

The dog jumps onto the top of the couch and assumes her usual neighbourhood watch pose by the window. Weirdly for her, she shows no fear amid the chaos.

What I wouldn’t give to know what’s going on inside her head.
