Our neighbors asked if I would feed and water their 300 pound dog while they take a vacation in Panama City….from what I hear the city of all cities. Anyway the dog is terrified of thunder. I had already saw the dog rip a bush apart from fear and wanting to escape being chained up during one thunder storm weeks earlier. I agreed to watch the dog. The owner seemed very calm like it was no big deal when I explained to him about watching it freak out before by saying “ok…well we are trying to get him used to it”…first of all who the hell answers every question or statement with “OK”? That’s another post. So they leave for beautiful Panama City. The next day I walk over and feed and water the dog and put him on his leader leash so he can be out of his 5X5 cage for a while. A few hours later thunder begins and he is going crazy. I get him a little calmed down and he busts a link on a log chain that he is chained to. I catch him and put him back on the leader and call it a night. Today…I went over to feed and water. He is in his cage and while I’m attempting to put his water and food inside he bursts through the gate and escapes. At that exact moment it begins to pour down rain. Really really pour down rain. So thus..this post is an expanation of the photo that proceeds it. After I walked him around in the rain for 15 minutes I finally told the old guy that I didn’t know what else to do. He was not going in his cage for sure so he let the dog inside. I hope he keeps his ass in there till they get back.
