OFF LEASH: On the subject of rain
"Off Leash" is an occasional column by Fiddler.
Sometimes water falls from the sky. I know because I’ve witnessed this on multiple occasions. I have nothing against rain as such; in fact, I rather enjoy getting wet. It is what often accompanies rain that concerns me. I’m speaking, of course, about thunder.
It is loud. And, truth be told, it frightens me. In the event of a thunderstorm, my modus operandi is to stand in the corner and quake, tail tucked safely between legs, until it passes. During this period I do not eat or respond to commands. Because as far as I know, something noisy and large is preparing to devour me. I know the rest of you believe this is unlikely. Perhaps you even find the idea ridiculous. But I doubt you’ll be quite so smug when the thunder comes for you.
