Surprisingly he was fine out in a thunder storm - the noise didn't bother him but the wet sure did. Speaking of which, on my Facebook newsfeed, a picture popped up - a lady knits balaclavas for dogs - they're used to help dogs that are scared of thunder/fireworks/other noises - she says they muffle the noise - do you think that would help your little one?

He's eating OK - always ready for his breakfast and dinner but not constantly looking for food though he'll readily accept it if offered. Sometimes he doesn't eat all his dinner in one go but that's normal.

It was really warm and clammy today - 18 degrees (centigrade) and we were both panting out on our walk - it was a short one tonight because it was just too warm for us.

I'm sure he gets bored with the same walk all the time but it's pleasant with plenty for him to sniff at. We went a bit further last night and he was doing well - till a man with a little terrier passed and the terrier had a go at him and he got all upset and anxious (barked back at it, but it was upset). He just wanted to go home after that.
