I think I forgot to mention, Doree and I celebrated our 39th anniversary on Saturday. Damn she's a patient woman!It was low profile celebration. We exchanged cards and went back to work. Packing and such. Today was a motorhome day. The list continues to get longer. Tested the water system Saturday and everything worked except the toilet. Water valve worked fine but the hatch that opens to the holding tank didn't. It's 20 years old so rather rhan thinking about fixing it I just ordered a replacement. It came in today but the required gasket and closet bolts didn't. They'll be here on Tueaday. The terd locker (little room with the terlet in it) was carpeted so we snatched out the carpet yesterday and Doree laid new sheet vinyl flooring today. Meanwhile I had discovered during the rain last week that we had some roof leaks. Ordered some seam sealer and it came in today. Meanwhile Sunday I got up on the roof and scrubbed it. It looked like it was mildewed really badly but, it turned out the the top layer of the rubber roof had deteriorated so bad that the black layer was showing. Went up to Homely Despot and picked up 5 gallons of elostomeric roof coating. Today I did all the penetrations and seams with the seam sealer. Was going to do the first coat of coating today too but, looking at the weather, it looks like it's going to rain steady for the next three days. The coating has to dry for 48 hours so I have to wait untile the rain stops. Lota of other things to do so it won't be a break, just a different focus.
I can't wait until this is all over. The PODS arrives Friday and the loaders (bunch of Tori's friends) will be hete Saturday morning to load it. We'll be living in the motorhome Saturday thru Tuesday. As it stands now we head to Florida on Tuesday morning.

@MattB101, makes me tired just reading your post! Congratulations on the Anniversary!
Thunder phobia in dogs. Spock was aweful. Got him a Thundershirt but didn't really seem to help. Some people swear by them. Tasha never had a problem until about 2 years ago we had a flash of lightning and house shaking boom of thunder at the same time that even made me jump.. Ever since she is a basket case as soon as thunder starts. I have tried body wraps, Spock's Thundershirt is too big on her. Sometimes seems to help, others not so much. And you can't hold her for comfort (human Thundershirt) cuz she won't stay still. Just pace, tremble and pant.
Things to try: Melatonin - I give Tasha 3 mg but she is 45 lbs. Maybe 1.5 mg? There are calming herbs you can try with valerian, chamomile, etc. You can talk to your vet, he/she might have a recommendation, but I have not had much success. Oh, another thing to try is to rub her down with a fresh dryer sheet, the theory being the static in the air adds to the reaction. If you go the herb/melatonin routs, be sure to give it at least 1/2 hr before the storm. Sometimes these storms come on so quickly you don't realize until it is too late.
Good luck, and hope things work out soon so you can settle down and enjoy the porch more. You are missed.

Happy anniversary! You are wearing me out Matt!I think I forgot to mention, Doree and I celebrated our 39th anniversary on Saturday. Damn she's a patient woman!

We had a dog terrified of storms when I was growing up. He would get in the bath tub and pull the bathmat in to hide under.
Both of my sister's dogs are afraid of thunderstorms, & the bulldog is afraid of fireworks, too. She uses something called Rescue Remedy by Bach. They used to make it for humans (Calm Child), but now market it for pets. It's a natural thing. She swears by it. She gives them both 1/4 dropper. They are both 75lb dogs. A Golden & a bulldog. She said a friend gave her shizhu 1/4 dropper & it knocked her out. So you have to judge by weight. You can get it on Amazon, but she gets it from the place that does their grooming & boarding when I can't do it.

YES! Bach Rescue Remedy. Wonderful stuff! Flower Essences, used for all kinds of situations. I swear by it, even carry it in my purse and every first aid kit. It can help with, I will call it noise, phobia (thunder, fireworks, etc).
Personal experience with Rescue Remedy. One time years ago when hubby was first put on blood pressure meds. He had a bad reaction, bp sitting in his chair was off the charts. I gave him some RR and rushed to the emergency room. Gave more RR. Sat almost an hour waiting for him to be looked at, one more dose of RR. He turned to me and said "I'm Ok. Let's go home and I willl see the doc tomorrow". Now true, I can NOT claim it was the RR, but he felt the difference.
I have had several times of that so close call for an auto accident the adrenaline is exploding and the heart is pounding. I pulled over, a few drops of RR under the tongue. Sit and breathe for a few minutes, and drive away. Again, can NOT say it was the RR, but it didn't hurt! I don't recover on my own that quickly.
So, I believe in holistic medicine, including flower essences, but like pharmaceuticals, they don't always work. Difference is, they won't hurt or kill.
PS you can get Rescue Remedy and other flower essences at most health food stores too. I have all the Bach flower essences, used and combined for different situations. I studied them for awhile years ago and have several books on flower essence therapy.
