Thunder storm, Confusion and just plain Stubborn

Here in the valley we had one heck of a rainstorm during the night. Or so they tell me, I slept through it.

Iva claims her little dog is terrified of the thunder and lightening but I suspect, in fact, it is Iva who is terrified. My husband awoke during the night to the sound of the 'front door' closing. Iva takes her little dog out the back door always, where there is a fence and she and the dog are both relatively safe.

Out the front door, is danger for both of them. Iva would likely get lost and Mitzy is a good candidate for a coyote midnight snack. Apparently the noise of the thunderstorm, so disoriented Iva that she found the closest door and went outside. My husband, Arnold, also noticed the security light on the side of the house was ON so she had ventured out all the way out across the garage. Anyway, several steps. They were both lucky that no harm came to them.

What it boils down to is now we cannot leave her alone, at all.
