It seems like THUNDER SEASON rolled in early this year. It was 4 o’clock in the morning and Sofie and Louise were beside themselves. Nothing ever helps calm them when the clouds are crashing and flashing, but when it is the middle of the night, it seems worse. It used to be that just Sofie would freak but, my luck, about a year ago, Louise caught the shakes and now she too gets scared. Thunder vests, calming treats, CBD cookies, and even Xanax do nothing for Sofie. And, when a storm comes on quick, all that is worthless anyway. (I love how the vet says to give them stuff 30 minutes before the storm starts. Yea, right. I can do that.) I’ve pretty much tried everything I could find. Best I can do is love them through it. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem to bother the little guy or the cats. It is going to be a looooonnnnnggggg loud summer, I fear.

Keeping 3 dogs quiet when people keep coming up to the front door of the house is a major feat. (Keeping Sofie quite, ever, is a big job.) I put the ‘baby’ gate at the top of the stairs to keep them away from the door, but they still can look over the ledge and watch the action. Charles actually came through the bars (like the cats do) on the side. I guess I will have to block that section too next year. You can see Sofie hiding behind the fountain watching me. I am sure it doesn’t help that the skeleton dog and cat are outside the front windows. Looking out the side windows which have prism glass, I would bark too.
What kind of mischief did you get into today?
