Rough night for Teddy

Poor Teddy, hope the thunder shirt keeps him comforted.

I now am anxious when it looks like rain because Katie counts on her walks each day. We walk in light rain, and I hate when we are unable to go on our walks. They have become mini marathons of at least an hour, most days much longer. It's amazing how much our lives revolve around our little girl and everything we do to try to make her healthy, exercised, and happy.

Please give Teddy and Max extra kisses from Katie and me.

Thank you Lisa and Katie! Teddy is like Katie and really looks forward to his walks. I almost think part of his fear of rain is sadness that he will not be able to go out. We walk if it is not raining too hard and he is happy to go outdoors.

When there is lightning and thunder, it is so sad when they are inconsolable. He is happy if I take him for a car ride, but I only do that if it safe to do so. Teddy is an unusual boy!

We've had some nasty storms near us lately too. I was actually going to take my car into the shop on monday when they announced that a tornado had touched down near us. I ended up turning right around because I didn't want to leave the boys home alone. They aren't super scared of storms but I wanted to be there just in case I had to take them to the basesment.

Very scary! You are a great mom to return home to make they were safe.

Thank you everyone for the sympathy and well wishes for Mr. Teddy. He enjoyed another sunny days with temps in the perfect 70s.

I feel terrible for all of the pupsters who fear fireworks. You may recall that I took Max and Teddy to our fireworks display last year, which made Teddy happy. Indoors, he can't stand it. Wish it were that simple for all dogs.

Sorry to hear about your Teddy. Our little Gracie is the same way. She is just petrified during bad storms. She is sleeping in a crate by my side of the bed because she is not quite potty trained. During the last big storm she was inconsolable and very scared. I was up almost the entire night with her just trying to sooth her.
