Does my dog know about Hurricane Milton?

My Corgi mix Chloe, with whom I have spent close to every moment of the past ten years or so since we adopted each other is distressed about something. Anxious.

She’s staring out windows and pacing, and wanting reassurance by turns. Several times I’ve taken her outside and shown her there’s nothing out there threatening.

We’re in New Mexico, so we’re not likely to be affected directly.

I wondered if anyone else was experiencing this.

Yes animals do know, even butterflies, I looked up if butterflies know last night cuz I'm worried about the ones in my yard, I guess they can fly 80 miles a day hahaha
@LadyBronte Surprise glories!

@Nebula aww, you're worried about the butterflies...I hope they can protect you 🦋

Dogs are very sensitive to pressure changes in the atmosphere. I would not be surprised if the hurricane was affecting her.
@CountScrofula Kinda what I’m thinking.

My guess is she is picking up on your discomfort, or the panicking weather folks talking about it on the TV.
@bowman81 I’m not sure she speaks meteorologist.

Yes dogs even know when someone is dying.All my little wild animals took cover before Helene and came out soon after it had passed

Was she a rescue? Perhaps she had a bad experience with a storm before you knew her.
@GlitterEater @GlitterEater yes, she’s a rescue, although I got rescued too. I have no knowledge of her previous life, but she was very timid and scared at the beginning.

It is quite possible. Animals are attuned to so much more than we can ever imagine.
@LadyBronte Absolutely. They are emotionally smarter than we are, for one.

Do you get earthquakes?
@Poppies Rarely. I hope not now.
