i hope you can find something that will help tipper with her anxiety during the storms.
i think stress is worse than a mild tranquilizer.
i hope you had some nice walks with the doggies.
we walked along the riverside because it is so hot and humid overhere.
Iris:
It was cold here today with a very strong wind. Tipper likes it cold. She has already walked and is napping. My elderly neighbor is sick of Deloras cat, and wants it to go. I can't finfpd anyone, and don't know what to do. It is frustrating as I don't want any harm to come to her. I am laying on the bed with Tipper as I cleaned today and I am tired. Have you gotten any new ideas to fool Ian? You don't work on the weekend do you? Hope you have a good weekend. Ian would think Tipper was disgusting if he heard her loud snoring now! Blessings

hi patti, my dogs like it cold too and so do i.
this hot and humid thing is not my kind of weather.
i come along a lot of pets during my work that are not in the right place, but i can't save them all.
i took some [i do have 2 rescue pet mice overhere right now] but i can not save them all.
maybe graces'rescue center can take the cat if he really does not want it. a pet shouldn't be a burden on someone.
i sometimes work on saturday, if i can earn some extra money.
but after 5 days of work i am beat. always taking care of other peoples problems, and never a vacation because no work, no money.
hope you and the dogs had some nice walks in the sunshine!
Patti, Have you ever tried the anxiety wrap or thundershirt? They are for all types of anxiety. I have donated many thunderhsirts to rescue organizations and it has helped many of them over come their anxiety to different things. It does not work for all dogs but 80% of them.
He Everyone:
Well last nite I was so tired I was a bad mom and did not monitor the tremor activity. Tipper has been sleeping in different places I guess according to how she feels or her mood? I disinfected mynwhole office for the second time yesterday, and that is a job!! I was really beat when done. Now the animals can go into that room at the end of May and I will have no worries.I know my Lucky is dying to get in there and see if there is a cat in there. It will be funny to see his reaction the first time back in there. So I have 2 bedrooms and the cat room left and I am done!! My Dr.called and set up an appointment for me at the cardiologist for May 5th. So I will have to have a sitter for Tipper as I will be in there all morning. Tipper's appointment is this Wednesday and I am already a nervous wreck about it. Vicki, I have two different types of thundershirts for Tipper, unfortunately she is in the 20% that it does not work on. She is one tuff little case here!! She never makes things easy! I am taking the day off cleaning and make some home made lasagna. I will give some to my neighbor in an attempt to soften him up over the in for yum! Tuesday is Adequan day, and I will be so happy as Tipper really needs it. It is beautiful out and the doggies have already had one walk, so they will be out today. I cleaned the front porch a bit yesterday too, so I can get the furniture out and the doggie gate up. I hope Tipper is not afraid tomgomout this summer and sit on the porch we she used to love it until she started being afraid of the noise. Blessings.
Patti
i hope you and tipper will spend a lot of time on the porch this summer.
is there some shade overthere?
lots of strength with the cleaning.
maybe it is time to move to a smaller house, so you don't have to clean so much. [better for your health?]
my house is so small, i think it fits 10 times in your place. easy to clean though.
only 3 more nights till wednesday and hoping for good results for tipper.
Hi Everyone:
Well this is to be storm week so I am not leaving the vets, or IMS without something for Tipper. If they could see how terrified she gets they would understand why we cannot go on without something to calm her. She is so allergic to everything, I will be scared to death to five it to her. The bad part is it depresses your breathing and thatnisnbad with her situation, and maybe why her vet has said no to it. She was up at 5 am and I am so tired this lack of sleep and stress is getting my Lupus going. I am going to try and bathe Tipper by Wednesday. She is used to having a bath more often than she has been, and I don't like stinky and dirty with my animals. She is on alert right now as she hears my neighbor mowing. Now the mower even bothers her. It is so hard with this noise always affecting her. I am wanting to put the porch furniture out today, and hope that she isn't going to act like last year and not come on the porch. She used to love it, it's a real shame. I just want to get past Wednesday and past my cardiology appointment. Blessings

Was thinking of you while listening to the weather forecast. We have had beautiful days here and the temps have remained quite cool which is great for Trixie. The bad weather moves into our area tomorrow and Wednesday.
We will get rain but not too much in the way of terrible storms. I know someone asked you about the thundershirt. Have you ever tried it. I know some people say they work. Clothes make Trixie so freaked out that I don't think it would help us, though now that Trixie's controlled she is much less jumpy and hasn't reacted too badly to the heavy rain, though noises from the strong wind still send her under the kitchen table.
Hope you get something from the vet that might help Tipper. I hope she'll go back to enjoying time on the porch this year.

Hi Everyone:
It is black out, and I see rain drops. I watched the weather and they said bad storms were coming toward us, just great. I will have to do whatever it takes to keep this dog calm. We may have to sit in the car in the garage with the radio blasting to try and cover up the thunder! I put the porch furniture on the porch. I invited Tipper out as I have the doggie gate up, she would not come out. I hope this is not how the summer is going to be for her. It just kills me to see her like this. She was such a care free happy dog before all this. She always wanted to be outside, and never wanted to come in. Toby could care less, he barks at the thunder. Blessings
Patti
Pray you remain safe, Patti!
