To all the dog owner that have dogs with fear, especially storm/thunder: Try getting them a tight t-shirt. I dont know why this works, but it does. My husbands rescue dog is TERRIFIED of storms. I heard about the t-shirt thing, and figured it wouldnt hurt to try it. I got one of my kids old shirts from the "give to Good Will" bag, put the dogs legs in first, then guided her head in. The dog finally stopped trying to crawl under my computer desk, and laid down in the dog bed. I use it when I'm not gonna be home during a storm, and we no longer have gauges in the bedroom doors where she used to try to get when she got scared.

Some pet places now sell dog fitted shirts that velcro around for this too...

Pam- you have Danes don't you? Where do you find clothes for them? My big boy loves clothes but I can't ever get his size. :(

This apple berry splash doesn't taste different from the berry potter to me. Can you taste a difference star?

from what i remember there is like a red apple to the apple berry splash, with a slightly different berry
i haven't had it in a long while though, so i can't remember how close they actually are

Mrs Wharf (I still like Rat :() had a kid in her class that had ED and he would wear a pressure vest and it would calm him down.

Now I thought I'd be agitated too if I was an 8th grader with ED. To be that young and have those problems ? They can't give him ......, he's way too young, I'd be big time bummed !!!!


Then she told me he is Emotionally Disturbed :facepalm: Phew, thank goodness it wasn't the plumbing !!!

my son uses a weighed blanket and a body pod or sensory sack they work wonders and help calm so well

did you try all the ahlusion juice you got Amber ? any you didn't care for ?

I did. The only one that I found questionable was the moonlight serenade. But I'm not the biggest mango and peach vapes fan normally. Love the flavors irl, but not in a vape. I'll vape it, but I won't reorder it. I will reorder most of the others though. Only slight difference between berry potter, sweet strawberry and apple berry splash, so I'll probably stick with the berry potter there, maybe occasionally the sweet strawberry. Apple berry is good, but berry potter is better. Luna fortuna and calypso breeze are both the bomb!

Bear in mind he weighs 140 lbs! It was like a grown man jumping into my lap. He doesnt get mad really, he only barks when hes mad. He gets really really scared. Which I dont understand because I've had him since he was 6 weeks old and he's never been hit or anything. He gets a good yelling at once in awhile, but nothing more than that. When we yell though he acts like he's being beaten. And when he's really in trouble, sometimes Ill refuse to acknowledge him at all, and he starts howling and cowering like he's hurt. LOL. Such a strange dog.

LOL. I'm reminded of the classic Cosby skit: "I thought my name was Dammit until I was 6. And my brother was Jesus Christ!"
