Days of Thunder

It is days like today that I miss that stupid dog all the more. Thumper never would go into "freak out" mode because of a thunderstorm. Meanwhile, the dog that did not get munched on by an alligator, is a complete wacko when it rains. Which makes me question if that whole evolution thing is real. Because honestly, I would have thought that this fear or learned behavior would have died out by now...
