I've heard a lot of thunder but haven't actually seen the lightning because I have had a 70 pound yellow Lab sleeping on my head for the last two nights.

This is probably a stupid question, but how do you react quickly enough to get a picture of lightning? Do you have the camera set on time lapse?
