She's mainly great.... except with this storm cycle the power is blipping; a LOT.  And that very brief nano-second of a power surge is something she picks up on and it freaks her out.   Our vet has told us, as dogs age, they can develop noise aversions.

This translates into her wanting to be a 65 pound lap dog; MY lap is the one she wants to be in - not John's 😉
