Lottie is a rescue dog who was taken in by the Valentino family in 2002 after she was taken from a home where she was kept in a cage outside and would burn her with cigarettes if she barked. With being kept outside in her former life the family believes she developed a deep fear of thunder storms and fireworks. Lottie will become very excited during a thunderstorm and will scratch at a doors and baseboards. Normally Lottie sleeps in the parents’ bedroom, which is where the family placed her Monday night during the storm since they had to leave the home she became so frightened that she chewed through the screen and jumped out the second floor window.
When the family came home and realized what happened they searched for Lottie but could not find her in the dark. The next morning while out searching for the dog a mailman happened to see her in a yard down the block. According to reports they took Lottie to the vet immediately to be evaluated. After jumping 20-feet to the concrete below and spending the night outside, dehydrated and in the rain, Lottie only came out with a bruise to her foot and a chipped tooth.

Thanks for hosting! Poor Lottie! Winston is afraid of storms and shakes so much I bought him the Thunder Shirt but so far it hasn’t made a difference.
Wow. Lucky dog! I can completely relate to the fear of thunderstorms thing. Daisy is the same way. Thank God she never tore at the baseboards or chewed through a screen, but feeling glad I have her Thundershirt anyways!
Thanks for hosting the blog hop this week!
Hi Y’all,

The Nissan Altima had two different options for its engines.
During the early 1990s, many car makes returned to Philippines, but during the Asian crisis, some makers withdrew due
to the economic slump. If speed is on your mind, there are some great fast cars that you will find with a low price
tag if you dig a little deeper for information.

Shelby hates storms, but luckily she just finds some blankets to hide under and she’s good to go. Poor Lottie! I am so glad she is ok!

Poor thing. I’ve had dogs that were so scared of storms.
So glad Lottie was found, especially without major injuries.
Ouch! He’s lucky….
So glad to hear Lottie is ok! BTW, I can’t see my link on the Blog Hop above… kept trying to re-enter it. So if it eventually comes up duplicate times, so sorry!!
