My dog has issues

Of course, those of you who know him, already know about his myriad of issues - this is just one. Cosmo does not like thunder. I do have an herbal remedy I dope him with and that helps alot. Mostly though, when it starts storming (and this has been a stormy summer) he heads to our bathroom. I don't know why but I guess it is common for thunderphobic dogs to find comfort in bathrooms. Maybe because it is cooler?

Anyways, now Cosmo has decided he likes the bathroom. All three dogs sleep in our bedroom at night - Angus in bed with us or his own bed, as he prefers, and the two greyhounds on their own dog beds. Now, every night when we head up to bed, everyone settles down where they are supposed to be. 2 minutes later, Mo will hop up and start pacing. He will go into the bathroom and start digging at the floor, trying to nest. Take a look in the picture - it's linoleum. Dig, dig, dig. He will come out to his bed, lay down. 2 minutes later, hop up and pace, his nails clicking on the hardwood floors and the bathroom linoleum. Finally, I get out of bed and haul his bed into the bathroom. He settles in his bed, most the time looking like a drunk college student with his head on the floor next to the toilet. In case, I miss his complete portrayal of contentment, he sighs and moans deeply. And then he sleeps all night through without a sound, lifting his head to observe us if any late night, ninja-move, contortion producing visit is needed to the bathroom. We now just automatically drag his bed into the bathroom every night when we go to bed.
