We used it for fireworks and car trips. You should google though, some people say it just shuts them down, others that it calms them. You'll know yourself by your girl though. Like Harley would walk around, wag his tail, eat, snore like a train etc with his on. He wouldn't be doing that if he was shut down, so for him, it calmed his anxiety.

That makes a lot of sense but the problem is she won't allow anything to go on her, can't get her into a harness or collar.. But it makes sense in so far as when she's like this hugging her tightly calms her, or like now I have a cushion on her and putting some body weight on her, this works too.

You're very thoughtful all the same.

Ah yes, it's very important to put it on well before the "scary event" or otherwise they can start to associate the coat with scary things and become afraid of the coat.

Glad you found something that works!

Northgirl is there someone you could send email on to?. Property management or owner?

I don't know... It's a landlord.

Long text at 9 am this morning while I'm at work asking me why I'm turning down radiators etc. I don't earn near what I assume she does and I'm not wasteful. She ran the dishwasher last night which I don't use which had about 4 plates and a cup in it..

Sorry, I know I'm always moaning about the same thing but I don't think it's appropriate for her to a) be running the house to her rules and b) send me inappropriate communications instead of simply have a conversation.

I've agreed to speak to her tonight but it's going to be late. I'm absolutely sick from the nerves and I've a multitude of other stressors that ok aren't her problem but I'm trying to deal with.

I'm tempted to call the landlord but although I don't want to, wonder if I should have the conversation first..

Gremlinertia · 31-10-2018 1:42pm

Keep the email. Ask her if she minds if you take minutes at the meeting. If she asks why tell her that you are not sure that this is acceptable behaviour in a shared let and you wanted to keep notes for comparison purposes.. Tell her some of your friends concerned about how stressed you seem outside work..
If she doesn't either back down or implode after that!.

I would have been murdered at home too. Would have to be too full to warrant it being run. Then it broke and was never replaced so that was the end of that!

Oi!. I want in if the written route does nowt..

Witchie · 31-10-2018 3:11pm

I will sit on her. That will sort her out. She will never complain again.

Just home from working in Starbucks. Not making coffee, writing stuff.

Wrecked. Another day of feeling crap from the attack of the coconut cubes.

harry Bailey esq · 31-10-2018 3:19pm

On the bus my way home early to go trick or treating. Is it just me or are fireworks gradually going out of fashion? They used to be going off constantly from mid September onwards, but I could probably count on one hand the nights I've heard them this year. We're going to an organised display at balbriggan Harbour this evening, they put on a decent enough show. Worth heading down for a gander if you live nearby.

I'm in Waterford today if you want to pick me up along the way - it's been a while since I went on a good crusade!

Kitchenside, taking a break from playing snap with my nine year old cousin. He is crushing me.

I can hold your coats, outside.

Lighting the fire, prepping dinner, and settling in for a quiet night - unless unexpected trick or treaters spoil the solitude.

I know this belongs to another thread so I'll try keep it short here.

Another thing which helps, apart from the TV being up loud, hugging etc is I have the heating up full. This knocks us all out.

Its so difficulty looking at your dog that you love so much beside itself with terror and there's no reasoning with them, I can't imagine what goes through her poor head compared to my other dog who could live through a bombardment lol.
