Today's report
Last night we had no storm although predicted..........but I gave him one Clon at bedtime.

Today was very odd........

I am on the couch reading this afternoon.........O'R is lying on the floor beside me...........there is a sudden clap of thunder.........he stays lying down but starts to shake all over...........I tell him to 'calm' and stroke his back..............5 minutes later a flash of lightening that we both saw out the picture window and a BOOM........same response...........a few minutes later the rain pounds against the window and another loud clap...........he continues lying down with head up,ears back, trembling, but MUCH calmer than normal.......and that was the end of the storm....Why this change in response?

1) Could the Clomicalm be helping even though he's only been on it 6 days ?

2) Was it the short bursts of noise and not the normal rumbling as a storm moves in?

Thankfully no storms in sight for awhile so I can start leaving him in the laundry room for short periods with delicious kongs to chew on.......I've had to nag my next door neighbor a bit to make the dutch door this weekend and I got the hardware we need today..........and onward we go !
