First golden shook like crazy no matter how nonchalant we acted. He was never afraid till age 2--we were anchored out in a Lake MI harbor and a thunderstorm came through. Bimini rod came loose and banged the whole time along with the thunder. That was it for the next 11 years.

Our second and present golden was by himself when a big storm came through late last winter. After that he started to be concerned, but the frequency of the thunderstorms lately has actually helped. He just ignores them now, but makes sure he's in whatever room I'm in.
