Jock and Duncan's fears

We had a thunderstorm last night and Duncan was so scared he was shaking.  Jock was not much better.  I had both Jock and Duncan in my lap.  Both were scared to death.  Not Abby.  She was sprawled on the couch beside me snoring.  I did not know a small dog could snore so loud, but she can.  She has no fear of storms at all.  The only fear she has is that I might leave and not come back, like I ever would.  It is getting cold now in Texas.  It is not cold enough for Abby to suffer the indignity of a sweater.  It has to be down in the 30's near freezing before she will allow me to put a sweater on her.  Duncan, on the other hand, gets really cold so he will wear a sweater.  I guess Maltese do not have a warm coat.  Jock seems to do ok and he does have a really thick coat.  Abby also seems to have a warm coat.  Anyway, over Christmas break, we are making the trip to see Dr. Don.  Time for shots, toenail clips and other stuff.  Abby really hates these trips to the vet.  She lets me know it too.  The last time I took her, he had to express her anal glands and cut her toenails.  She also had an ear infection.  When I got back in the car with her, she moved onto the passenger seat and turned her back on me.  She was really angry.
