[nagdu] . Fireworks and Thunder, question?

[Steven Johnson]

Hi Art,
I am not sure where that disarm thing is from, or where it came from...hmmm,
interesting.

It's sounds like you are in an interesting area of Florida especially with
the rainy season and dry season.  We are fortunate to not have the dry stuff
this year and in fact, have had approximately 9 inches of rain since last
Saturday here in Western Wisconsin!  The rivers are high, the grass is very
green, the produce is growing nicely in my garden, but the damn bugs are
freaking huge!  

One thing my guide's trainer and vet recommended was the Thunder Shirt.  She
has been getting a little better and we will face another test tonight as
storms are expected to roll in again.  There is also the suggestion of
prescribing Zanex, but I really want to stay away from Rx meds.  One of my
coworkers did mention a natural remedy, but for the life of me cannot
remember the name.  It surrounded the name comfort, but just can't remember
it at all.  I do like the post though as tis the season for loud noises!
Ah, snow is so much more quiet!

        Steve, I posted this item here, as I was looking for opinions pro or
con.  Perhaps some have other recommendations.

        We got lucky here in west central Flor'da.  Hope our lukc stays with
us for another week or so.  As of yesterday, Friday, There was a ban on the
use of fireworks mandated for Hillsboro, Pinelass, and Pasco Counties --
because we haven't had rain here during our Dry Season, and everything is
like kindling.  

    Princess and I are in the area of west central flor'da which the chasco
Indian tribe named "the Best Li'l Aker in Paradise", when translated into
English.  To the north, south, and east of us, it'll  rain, but not here.
In April we had one little rain event, and ditto that for May.  Our first
rain in June happened Saturday morning, for maybe 15 minutes, although areas
around us got an hour, and maybe more.   Today we had that water stuff fall
out of the sky for a few hours, just enough to make a mess.  

    Our Rany Season starts here at the Best Li'l Aker in Paradise on Tuesday
the 28th.  We got hit 3 days ahead of schedule.  For the sake of the dogs,
we hope the ban on fireworks continues.   Thunder is enough; don't need the
four days of man-made noise.

      The subject field said "left brace disarmed right brace".  Wy is that?

Thanks so much for this.  My guide and I were just in a tornado back on May
22, and she has displayed some anxiety now after this weather event.  I
initially tired to comfort her, but then ceased this as I knew better.  We
are working through it.  I will post this on our WAGDU site...again, thanks
much!
