Chicken Dog

Our poor Jethro has a thing about thunder and lighting. It comes about because where he grew up ( he is 11) in Alaska there were plenty of storms, but no crashing noises from the sky or accompanying light shows. During the storms here, he acts as if Velcro had fastened him to us and any attempt to separate hurts. During the night he shivers and tries to get under us or else steps on us in his agitation. We have tried thunder shirts, weighted blankets, crating, darkness, light, music etc. Drugs work but who wants a zombie dog? Anyway, generally we take turns staying up to comfort the panicked chicken in our midst. I guess while on duty last night I fell asleep and our crazy dog sat on my husbands head. Yeah, not a pleasant way to awaken. Oops!
