He's 9 years old now, and over the years his fear of rainy weather, the wind, and the tv glitching has increased.

Now he freaks out even when it's not that bad out: He pants a lot, gets very whiney and clingy, shivers, and tries to climb behind things like the couch.

There's a bookcase in our home in the corner between two of our couches (so it's a somewhat closed in area), he'll go in there and claw at the bookcase...he's even gone in there and tried climbing onto and over the couch.

We're going to talk with the vet next time we visit and see what he has to say...but I'm just curious...

Anyone here who has dogs ever have this happen?
