flooding in Houston, I hope kiebers is safe and sound

[Renee]

Not a great evening to celebrate the wife's birthday...LOL  

Dog will be going apeshit and it will be all we can do to keep her from clawing us bloody.

Aw poor thing....ever try a low dose of phenobarbital....I mean for the dog.  ac_biggrin



Your vet can prescribe it and it does help. I have a dog that needs it during storms and on the 4th of July. It prevents a 50lb Keeshond from trying to sit on my head during T-storms.  :7283gm_th:



BTW, Happy Birthday to your wife.

Thank you

Yes we were talking about doggie downers the other night...LOL  They also make a "thundershirt" but don't think that would work. Honey is about 75 lbs and trying to sit on my head is common in these storms...LOL

It's my experience that "Thundershirts" don't work. My vet recommend I try it but Tyler ate his. He literally chewed it into little bits during a stormy night. I woke up to a panicky dog and a $50 dollar dog shirt in shreds.  The shirts are supposed to hug the dog and make them feel secure and give a calming effect.....bullshit.  



Dogs not only fear the noise but they also feel the static electricity in the air which is what causes the anxiety and some dogs are constantly on the verge of panic. A tight shirt does nothing to alleviate that, I don't even see how it can.



Phenobarbital or Acepromazine usually works best. There are other sedatives on the market but those are the most common.

This one is the only one I have had that goes bonkers like this. Traumatic memory I suppose. My other dogs didn't like a big storm but they stayed fairly calm. Hopefully it doesn't get too crazy tonight. Just contracted for a new section of fence to be put in and I would like for this one to stay up until then. It was almost blown down Wednesday. Got some anchors in the ground with straps holding it.

Broke her foot Sunday morning. She gets to wear a "boot" for 6-8 weeks. Ain't we havin fun.....LOL   Overall things are pretty good.



Oh and we really really, really, really really do wish we could blame the foot on birthday festivities of any kind....however...sigh

I'm sorry to hear about your wife's foot though. Did she break it putting it up someone's ass? ac_biggrin
