Showers and Thunderstorms

This past week has been a wonderful one with my roommate's brother and wife coming for a visit. They camped right on the Gulf of Mexico just a couple of blocks from our home. Yes, they had a relaxing time and so did I as I got to know them while sitting outside their lovely Greyhawk motorhome. We only got drenched once, although we did get a short shower nearly every day during their visit.

Tom and Markie are now safely back home in Georgia and here I sit with Tidbit nestled nearby just in case she feels the need to hide beneath the desk, again. Yes, Friday was a morning of...


Thunder Shower Rumblings and Dog Grumblings


Funny thing that one of our conversations was about how dogs grumble when the sky rumbles. Markie suggested I get a Thundershirt for Tidbit and explained they really do work! I just might have to get the old girl one to wear now that we live in Florida and seem to have quite a few rumbles from Mother Nature.



If you have a dog...

Does your dog wear a Thundershirt?

  1. I love pets that let you dress them. My dog used to let me

    1. Hilary, Tidbit does not take kindly to being dressed! So I am not sure she would appreciate the Thundershirt, but I am thinking if it will ease her anxiety during stormy weather, it might be worth a try.

    1. I had never heard of the Thundershirt either, Dana, so found it quite interesting as Markie explained it to me.

  4. Yes, my dog, Pipsqueak, grumbles, too. Maybe a thundershirt would help both of our dogs.

  5. Hello Ruth,

    Yes it's a funny conversation but so nice after all.
    Well I had 2 dogs Isis and Osiris, and only Osiris liked to be dressed, it was so fun. You bring me back so sweet memories of my childhood.
    and one of them.

    Happy SWS !

  6. Cannot imagine how a thundershirt might work - but luckily my cats adore thunderstorms.

  7. I was wondered how the new dog would do in storms and she does great. I have heard wonderful things about the Thundershirt, though! And your roomy's friends have a gorgeous camper!
