your welcome!
i also wonder if the cape is snug against the body? it doesn't look like it in the photo. the reason i bring this up is because i read the book "animals in translation" by an autistic woman. And one of the ways she relates to animals is that having something tight against you, reduces anxiety. Cows in a squeeze chute became calmer when the sides of the machine became tighter against them while receiving vet treatment. She tried this on herself and received the same feeling that lasted for hours afterward. I think they mentioned similar feelings with dogs and tight capes...i really can't remember the situation. But the point is, if the storm defender cape is snug against the body it might help against the noises that way, and the metallic lining helps with the static charges. If its not snug, well then there goes my theory. LOL
another thing tho, after reading this book i tried the method out on morgan and wrapped her really snuggly in her blanket so that she had constant pressure on her. it worked, not perfectly, but i did notice she wasn't shaking as badly as when the storm first started.
