It must have been a rainy season last week, ’cause it rained and rained! Nala had lots of opportunities to use the Thundershirt<\/font>TM<\/sup><\/font>, and mommy took each one of them.
\n
\nLast Friday we had another storm. It started in the morning, and continued on and off until early evening. The rain had stopped at night, but wouldn’t it figure… someone had some leftover fireworks and set them off, just as Nala had started to calm down.<\/p>\n

Before I continue<\/strong> with my latest review, I want to tell you a couple of things…<\/p>\n

First, a friend of mine is in a contest! The FiveSibes<\/a> entered a photo of Wolf as part of the “Take Your Dog to Work Day” Campaign. One of the prizes includes a $500 donation to a shelter of the winner’s choosing, and Wolf & the FiveSibes family want to help homeless Huskies! If you have a free moment, could you please click on this link<\/a> and vote for Wolf’s photo? Thank you so much, friends! <\/p>\n

The next thing is, I learned something very important from Jan of Jan’s Funny Farm<\/a>, and since I have lots of kitty friends, I thought I should share it. It turns out that there are flea-killing products that contain an ingredient called, “permethrin” — this ingredient is DANGEROUS to kitties and could be deadly! Click here<\/a> to read Jan’s post — she also includes some really good resources on permethrin. Thank you, Jan, for posting about this important topic! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Now to the review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since it rains here so often and sometimes for just a short time, I think I’m gonna post reviews whenever we have longer storms. For the other times, I really don’t get a chance to watch Nala and evaluate her reactions — there just isn’t enough time. Mommy still puts the shirt on Nala, but I just won’t write about it unless there is a major change in her reaction.<\/p>\n

We had a bad thunderstorm on Friday, July 8. Mommy held up the Thundershirt<\/font>TM<\/sup><\/font> to get Nala’s attention, and then Nala walked over and put her head down so mommy could put it on. The thunder seems to be the worst part of Nala’s fear, though she is afraid of the rain itself because thunder usually comes along with it. And lightning, even though there is no sound, is bad too ’cause Nala knows to expect the thunder that comes right after. <\/p>\n

While Nala was wearing the Thundershirt<\/font>TM<\/sup><\/font>, she didn’t pace the floor as much as she used to. Sadly, her shaking was the same. After the thunder passed, there was still a little rain, and surprisingly, Nala’s shaking stopped. Normally she would continue to shake throughout the entire storm, until it stopped raining. Have we made some more progress?<\/p>\n

Later at night, the shirt went back on… some people in the neighborhood must have had some leftover fireworks. Thankfully, the noise didn’t last too long.<\/p>\n

Positives on this day: <\/strong> <\/p>\n
