How is it going with the Thundershirt?
My sister is using it on her pug and is having great success for car rides. It calms her down enough that she does not whine during the rides and has a lot less drool!

Okay, Nevis is not resisting wearing the TS and I have had it on her for hours at a time. After a second storm,however, it was back to the meds (I am not good at watching her sooo unhappy). The verdict is out for now.
BUT, on the challenge of getting her to NOT sleep with me as she does with my sister...
I exercised her lots with her beloved Frisbee (getting her tired) and slowly weaned her to "consider" not staying in my bed at night! Now she will stay on a comfy cushion I have fashioned with a human blanket I had on the bed. I am successful at something with her!
She is becoming a cozy companion when I am in the study reading or writing. I think we are getting to be friends and she has a better trust in me and is not so needy.
Thank you for caring and asking.
