Poor Millie
Millie is terrified of the noise made by jet planes. One of the advantages of the various lockdowns is that there have been fewer aircraft passing overhead. Yesterday, unfortunately, two low flying military jets passed close to the house and Millie was beside herself with worry. She shook uncontrollably, her heart was pounding and she was panting and drooling. We could not comfort her no matter what we tried. Also, she refused to go to her bed and just stood, trembling with a haunted look on her face. It took her ages to get back to normal - the best part of an hour.
If Fiona and I see an approaching plane before Millie hears it we start singing loudly to distract her. It actually works but she looks at us as if we are nuts. We probably are.
