Thx MMF, I enjoyed that. Duncan was not an unruly chap as Jimmy's dog Beau was described, but he did have a similarity to Beau in that he had a fear.
While Jimmy's dog Beau was scared of the dark, Duncan was deathly afraid of thunder and could sense and feel a storm coming before we could see any lightning or hear any thunder. Here was a dog who trembled and hyperventilated when storms came through but was totally unfased by the sound of a shotgun.
And when those storms hit, he was such a little shadow, prancing circles around your feet and almost tripping you. He just had to be brought in the house and be reassured. He would settle down when in the house and I would tease him and say "You are just turning into an old hound dog aren't you? And you just want to be a soft old house dog"
And I think that as those summer storms come through in the future seasons, that is when I will remember Duncan the most.
