Hello friends of @hivePets a pleasure to greet you again to all who make life in this beautiful community, today I want to compete something that for some time makes me noise or rather shock, and for that reason I want to talk about the subject to clarify something that unfortunately is transmitted from generation to generation and those who are harmed are our lovely pets.
As many of you know, and have read me here in my family we share our home with our two pets, Lobo and Kira, and for us is very important their welfare, and on Tuesday morning it rained in our area and there was a strong thunderstorm, where the thunder was deafening being the reason that they were too scared, So much so, that although they sleep inside the house, the poor things could not find a place to hide and there was so much commotion that I immediately had to get up, and when I saw them and removed the fence that separates their sleeping area, they went straight to our room, it was impressive the fear they felt because of that storm.
That night when we saw them like that, we didn't have the heart to make them go back to the place where they sleep, so that night Lobo and Kira woke up in the room. They were really scared, Kira started to scream and it is understandable, because she is only a 4 months old puppy and Lobo in spite of being an adult did not stop looking for a place to hide, and I want to clarify again that they sleep inside the house free from the cold of the water. Something we did immediately was to try to calm them down by hugging them and rubbing them to make them feel safe and to lower the stress they felt because of the thunder and lightning that frightened them, something that should never be done is to try to scold them since this would complicate things, because their reaction is involuntary, moved by fear and no matter how well trained they are, they will not listen to us.
Something that I would like to say to all of us who today have the joy of living with a pet is that we must educate ourselves and become aware in this aspect, and I say this because many people have been transmitted a belief that for me is wrong, many grandparents and even our parents take the dogs to the backyards when this happens, because they believe that lightning chases our dogs and if they have it inside the house lightning could strike inside the house, and I could hear this issue the next day when I heard older people talking about it, that according to them it was not good to have the dogs inside the house, because of what was said before. And many believe this to be true since they hear it from people they respect, like their parents, but unfortunately a lie has been transmitted where the most harmed are our dogs where they get wet, not to mention the fear that grips them at that moment.
If you have heard it in your family, it is a beautiful gesture to help those people understand that this is not true, and thus protect our animals from this fear that terrifies them, on the contrary if this situation happens to us what we must do is to show them our affection by hugging them to calm them down and rubbing them, in this way this hard moment for them will be less traumatic and they will trust us much more. If you have heard of this you can let me know in the comments, the important thing will always be the welfare of our pets and prevent them from suffering due to ignorance on this subject.

Eso es muy cierto, los perros se asustan mucho con los sonidos fuertes, pero no solo los perros, los gatos también, he visto esto con mis gatos muchas veces. Verás, la sala, donde normalmente estan mis gatas, es donde más tiempo están ellas. Por acá hay dos camiones, cuando llegan a guardarlos en los garajes de las casas, ellas salen corriendo al patio oa refugiarse debajo de la cama. Cuando hay relámpagos es casi lo mismo, pero no salen al patio solo se meten debajo de la cama o donde estoy yo, imagino que me buscan para sentirse seguras, así son los animales.
Un post muy bonito y las fotos de Kira y lobo son bellísimas.

Así es amigo!! Es verdad los gatos también se asusta mucho con esas cosas, por lo general con ruidos que son nuevos para ello. Por eso debemos protegerlos mucho para que tengan una vida feliz. Saludos.

What a belief so far from reality, it is good that you as a conscientious person and animal lover have been able to protect them and calm them from their fear, they are very lucky to have you, others are not as lucky. It is admirable that you make these people see that these are inherited beliefs and that they are not entirely true. Thank you for sharing your experience and point of view, I totally agree with you, I have two dogs, one of them is not even bothered by thunder, Honey runs into my arms because of fear.
Que creencia tan alejada de la realidad, que bueno que tu como persona conciente y amante de los animales hayas podido protegerlos y calmarlos de su miedo, tienen mucha suerte de tenerte, otros en cambio no corren con la misma suerte. Es admirable que le hagas ver a estas personas que esas son creencias heredadas y que no son del todo ciertas. Gracias por compartir tu experiencia y punto de vista, estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo, tengo dos perritas, una ni se incomoda por los truenos en cambio Honey corre a mis brazos del miedo.
Así es amiga!! Una triste realidad que han vivido muchas mascotas, incluyendo gatos, que los sacan por una gran mentira. Gracias por tus palabras, se nota que te encantan las mascotas y este es el objetivo apoyarnos para ser portavoces y ayudar a las personas que hacen esto por ignorancia. Tus mascotas también son privilegiadas por tenerte. Un abrazo.

Hola amigo @loboblanco las mascotas sufren mucho y sobre todo en diciembre con los fuegos artificiales y esto les daña los oidos. Es inhumanos dejarlos bajo la lluvia.
Un abrazo.
Es verdad amiga, esa temporada es traumática para ellos allí debemos reinventarse para alejarlos de todo aquello. Gracias por leerme, saludos
Que triste que las mascotas tengan que pasar por cosas así. Ellos se asustan y no encuentran que hacer, lo mismo pasa con los fuegos artificiales que tanto daño les hacen. Debemos tener un corazón para protegerlos como seres vivos que son.
Que bueno que kira y lobo duerman dentro de la casa, así estarán más protegidos.
Muy triste amiga, es horrible el verlo así, ya que por más que les hables no te escuchan, solo cuando lo abrazas se empiezan a tranquilizar. Gracias amiga por leerme.
Omg! That baby German Shepard is absolutely adorable. So cute.
Thank you my friend! Kira has stolen our hearts since she arrived, now I am in a hard process of educating her as this breed is very energetic. Greetings.
Thats awesome to know and its great that she is loved
Te felicito por el cuidado que le tienes a tus mascotas. imagino el miedo en ellos porque el ruido de los truenos lo escuchan cientos de veces superior a nosotros. Lamentablemente es así hay malas costumbres que debemos erradicar, como eso de dejar los perros a la intemperie.
Gracias bro. Es así su oído es muy delicado ante estos ruidos, y ese es mi objetivo mediante está publicación que si tenemos la oportunidad de escuchar tales cosas dar nuestro aporte para aclararles a esas personas que eso no es cierto. Saludos...
