    Ellie, Layla has a thundershirt and it seems to help her quite a bit. Maybe you can consider that for Wolfy?

    Our forecast changed - now calling for the 90's and humid. I knew it would catch up with us here, sooner or later. Those nice comfy temps and clear days with low humidity, just don't last very long once July is almost upon us.

    I thought about a thundershirt for Wolfy, but I'm waiting to see how he reacts to the next "normal" storm. The one that had him so frightened really was pretty intense. He couldn't have gotten any more "snug" than he was tho, and he was pressed up against me so hard and I was holding him very tight too.....I thought I was going to have to peel him off of me!


    ETA: I had to chuckle at that look on Layla's face. It's like she's thinking: "Mom - please don't show this picture to anyone. I don't want anyone to know that I'm afraid of a storm - afterall - it's just some bright lights and a lot of noise - right Mom???"

    It is about 103F here right now. Lovely. But I'll take the heat without the storms thank you.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Gonna be near 90* again today with, guess what? More storms!

    I wish I got paid what the people on TWC get paid for posting this.

    Thanks Cindy for your reply! Humidity at about 80% right now.

    Right now it is 93 (was 90 two hrs ago) (central NC) and to be in 90's rest of week. We had a week of 90+'s not long ago then a bit of a cool down (86). Yes, we also might have thunderstorms toward night. Actually I hope we have a "normal" storm because we need RAIN. Thank Goodness for a/c!!

    It was muggy and yucky hot today - it was up to 89F with high humidity, and it is starting to cool off a tad, just "feels like" 91F.

    How do you respond to extreme heat? I find I drink - a LOT - iced tea, iced coffee - any cold and wet - nearly constantly! If you shook me by the shoulders now I would probably slosh!

    Lovely 75°F today, and supposed to be around that all week - no complaining from me, but many people think that's too cold for August!

    At 11.00 at night it's 66 degrees here in Trenton with a nice breeze coming through. They're talking about rain during the week with an increase in humidity. Is it really half past August? Sure doesn't feel like it. Apparently summer decided not to show up this year - no heat waves or 100+ degree days with stifling humidity. That's okay, I'll take this gladly.

    Actually, that pic was taken last 4th of July. Fireworks and firecrackers don't scare her as much as storms, must be the static in the air. If it was a storm, she would have been hiding in the bathroom.
