Default Rusty Einstein

One evening a thunderstorm kept hovering above us. We live on a ridge
surrounded by valleys. They add to each thunderclap a chain of echoes
which try to give dog Rusty a heart attack. He hopped on my bed that
evening shaking all over. I held him tight to keep his bones
together.
Each thunder made him wince, then howl because the end was nigh.
A lightning was indicated by a short dip in the light of my reading
lamp - followed within seconds by thunder. Very quickly, Rusty had
figured out the connection between the dimming of the light and the
awfulness that followed. And he changed his habit. He now howled and
shook when the light went down, and became fatalistic about the
thunder.
I am utterly amazed that a dog in less than half an hour could
understand the logic of cause and effect.
Greetings - Klaus and Rusty
