Pickles and Waffles - especially Waffles - are NOT happy! It has been
raining here, and we're getting the occasional thunderstorm. When the
thunder booms, or the rain suddenly becomes a downpour, they don't like
it. I've had one or the other of them on my lap quite a bit this morning.
At one point, Waffles came in to where I'm sitting at the computer, and
his eyes were so dilated I could hardly see the irises. After a spell on
my lap, the pupils decreased in size, but they're still pretty large. A
while ago, he was in the hallway when thunder boomed. He looked anxiously
at the ceiling. It has quieted down now, and so has he. He's sleeping
now, probably exhausted from all that adrenaline.

Poor Waffles. Boyfie doesn't like thunder much either.
