Dark and dreary.....

I took Little B out in a brief break in the gloom this afternoon.  Unfortunately something around us is making loud booms from time to time and this happened almost as we got to the park.  His tail went down but he walked with me to the entrance and pulled madly on the lead to get into the park.  Unfortunately, 10 minutes in and another boom..... tail down and a refusal to go any further resulting in a quick turnaround and a hasty retreat home!  I'm glad I kept his lead on as I think he may have bolted otherwise.  I wish I knew who/why we're getting all this noise.
