2. To calm a dog who is disturbed by a thunderstorm, rub her with a dryer sheet.

Guess which one I tested?
It didn't work.
Re #1 - Ewwww!
ReplyDeleteI hope you tried #2.
Me, too. I vote for #2!
ReplyDeleteDid it work? Did he smell dryer-fresh?
Well, at least the dog won't cling to your pants....I hope.
ReplyDeleteI would so totally fail at Survivor. I don't think I could eat a bug.
I like to gross myself out once in a while and think about how many bugs we eat when we're sleeping.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
#2? Benadryl. That's what we use to give our dog when she FREAKED out from thunderstorms. just a 1/2 a tablet. did the trick. but i'm not trying to push drugs on your dog. :)
ReplyDeletePlease, please, please tell me it was #2. Because #1 makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
ReplyDeleteI pulled a lady bug out of the baby's mouth the other day. Not sure if it was alive or dead when it went in! Hope he doesn't do it again, yuck!
ReplyDelete#1 is niz-asty! Although among the bugs I've eaten unintentionally are mosquitos and gnats...
ReplyDeleteHHHMMMM.........
ReplyDeleteI am going to guess that if you ate a bug....it flew in your mouth while out on a bike ride.
I'd go with the dog dryer sheet scenario. My sis-in-law actually has a prescription from her vet and they drug him on every storm. I like the Benadryl idea....it seems less narcotic like.
