My dog is becoming aggressive?...

I might be having a new problem with Luna. She is usually a very relaxed and calm dog. I was always so "proud" in the fact that she doesn't have the "pit character" that people talk badly of.

Dogs and babies

First, I asked for your help a while back about getting Luna to be more relaxed before flying with her. I found the perfect solution: I'm getting her certified as a therapy dog, which is great cause she really loved attending the sick and needy, and now we'll be able to do some work in that area, and second cause whenever we fly, she can fly in the cabin with me!!!!
I am writing about another issue this time though. I am expecting my first baby in about 3 months, and planning to home birth her. So I have 2 questions.

is luna too attached, or what?

so, in short this is luna and mine story:
she belonged to my neighbors, who had her and her mom and 5 more puppies from different litters. one day she wandered to my land with her sister & brother, saw me, sat in my lap and didn't move for 1/2 an hour, and ever since that day she would run away from her owners every day, 2,3,4 times a day to look for me, at my house, at work, and the coffee shop where i'd have most of my meals... she would just wander around until she'd find me.
that went on for 6 months. then she was at the pound for 2-3 months (a whole different story), and came back, found me again and the story kept going like before, while the owners are complaining to the police i am stealing luna, and the cops in our town are trying to help me adopt her.

Kennel training

So I'm trying to train Luna to sit in her new kennel. Trying will be a good word for what's happening, cause usually it's not not really working!!!!
When i bought the kennel, i opened it and put only the bottom part next to my bed with Luna's bed in it, and for the first 2 weeks she was sleeping in that bed. Which worked pretty well.

Flying with a terrified dog

My dog, Luna, is 2 years old. She's terrified of loud noises. Not all of them, but sounds like thunders, so I'm assuming a flight could be a horrible experience for her...
I already started kennel-training her, and I'm looking for a cd with thunder storm sounds to help her deal with her fear of thunders.
I am also hoping that since there are a lot of thunder storms here this time of year, that she will learn that the kennel, a small and dark place, is her safe spot away from the noise. Yesterday for the 1st time she sat in the kennel when a storm was going on!!!
Anyway, we're flying at the end of September, we have an 11 hours flight from the States to France, and then another 5 hours to Israel.
