[nagdu] . Fireworks and Thunder, question?

[Tami Kinney]

Cindy,

How did the thunder shirt work? Do you think it would calm a
super-excited hound dog on road trips? Daisy has gotten really a ton
better in the car, but an excited Daisy is an impossible to manage
Daisy, and she *loves* to go on the road.  /lol/ It is my job to manage
the dogs (by which I mean the Daisy dog) while it is DD's job to drive.
It is Mitzi's job to get really resentful because Daisy tends to bounce
around a lot and does not care if the poodle happens to be in the spot
where she is bouncing.  Or my lap, so I get where the poodle is coming
from.

We're using natural remedies to keep a lid on the over-excitement, since
a happy excited Daisy is nearly as fearsome a creature as the former
anxiety-ridden Daisy.  /lol/  I'd forgotten about the thunder coats, but
should look into it, huh?
