Poor Buddy. I feel bad for him that he gets so scared in the storms. That must be awful for him and you too.

Angie, have you ever heard of these ? http://anxietywrap.com/
I got one for Smokey when he freaked out over storms. It was a big
help with him. He doesn't need it anymore & he still doesn't like t-storms,
but he doesn't get so terrilbly afraid & puts up with them a lot better.

Liz, I've heard of those, and also that putting a t-shirt on a dog will lessen their anxiety during storms. I dont know if it works, when Star gets anxious, if I get her to lie down where she can't actually see the storm, she quiets down.

On a less serious note, I'll post this link to "Meeshka's World", (one of my favorite sibe's blogs), if you'd like to have a good laugh over "anxiety wrap" from a Siberian's perspective. Great cartoon! Meeshka also has storm anxiety, so the topic comes up on her blog once in a while. Meeshka's World

Poor Buddy.

I hope that Green Hope Farm stuff works. If it doesn't i HIGHLY suggest some lavender oil applied directly to his chest. I seen it work wonders on a highly stressed puppy.

I wonder if a degaussing strip would work. (It's something electricians use when working on sensitive equipment. It would have to be grounded to something though and the strap I think would have to be touching some of Buddy's skin. I figure if it's sensitive enough to stop motherboard from getting fried by minuscule amounts of static we don't even see, it might help for pets.)

Degaussing Strip - aka "Anti-Static Wrist Band" ~

A device worn by Electronics Workers who handle ultru-sensitive electronic assemblies.
Two or three problems for a Dawg >>>

* Would have to shave the fur off an area of the wrist or leg
* Would have to connect the conductive wrist band to a good "ground" - with a wire
* Fido prolly would NOT like being "wired to the wall"
* Not so safe during a Lightning & Thunder storm!

When I worked for IBM, the folks who handled senstive components, cards, and boards
HAD to wear "Anti-Static Wrist Bands" when working at their benches ...
but had to STOP working and REMOVE the wrist bands whenever a storm was
reported near the Plant.

Favorite trick was if someone spotted the sun slip behind a cloud, they'd
holler "I think I heard THUNDER!" ...

Wrist Bands *flew off* and the Manager dashed to a window to "check"!

YIKES!!!! I didn't know that about the storms!

ABANDON the DEGAUSSING STRIP IDEA for Buddy!!!!

Hey, I wonder if attaching it to one of those grounding strips would work You know... the ones that are supposed to keep your computer safe in storms. (So far ours has... thank goodness... because we get a LOT of power surges here.) Ah HA that's what it's called... Surge suppressor.

(please don't take me seriously... I don't think hooking up a dog to something plugged into the wall is a good idea... if it's not the intended purpose of the equipment.)

I work on my computer all of the time and have never wore one. LOL! I hope buddy gets better and his stiches heal so he can go back to his normal self... tearing down the house lol!
ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION!!!

[pitc9]

Well... one stitch has ripped all the way through.

The one that ripped out is the middle one and where the wound is not looking the best.
The wound is very close to being healed closed all the way except one tiny little place, where this stitch ripped through.
I hope it heals the rest of the way on it's own and I don't have to take him back for stitches again.

buddy, honey, i know this isn't in your nature, but consider laying around for just a week, let the foot heal. soak up the loving and stay far away from glass. angie can you replace the window glass with plexiglass?

Joyce, I'm going to print this out and hang it on the fridge so Buddy reads it everyday!!

We would replace it with plexiglass but we are only weeks away from putting our house on the market to sell! They stay in crates almost all the time now when we are not home to make sure it doesn't happen again.

[wolf_Q]

Sorry to hear about Buddy, I hope his foot gets feeling better soon. No more jumping through glass, ok Buddy?

[crow_noir]

What about replacing all the windows in your new home with Plexiglas or lexon then? :-)

I hope Buddy's foot is ok.
poor guy.
lots of gentle hugs to him and to you -
and of course to the princess too!

[pitc9]

Yep! I took his stitches out Thursday night!

I'm SO glad that's over! And I'm making sure it doesn't happen again!
