As you can see....there are wonderful thunderstorms in the forecast for the next 4 days. Last night we had a really bad storm, and if any of you own a dog that doesn't like thunderstorms you can relate to my lack of sleep.
My poor Longie, is a mess when a storm is brewing. She woke me up around 1 this morning because there was thunder in the distance. She usually is a Daddy's girl, but when it storms she is always stuck to my side. She paces back and forth and tries to get into small spaces. Its a nightmare trying to sleep. I feel so bad for her, because there is nothing you can do to calm her down. Even if you put her in bed, it only last a few minutes and she is back on the floor pacing around and panting. I ended up on the couch, because I cant deal with it right now. I need my sleep, knowing that the sleepless nights are just around the corner! Of course I was on the couch for like 3 minutes and Snackie was staring in my face wanting to know why I wasn't in bed. After a 2 hour storm I finally fell back asleep!
After a call to the vet this morning, a stop at the store for some Benedryl is going to take place on my way home. The vet said 5 25mg pills should do the trick to knock her out and keep us both calm and happy....we will see what happens tonight and I will keep you posted! This is only the beginning of sleepless thunderstorm nights in my life!
