oh i wish i'd know about "happy" pills. my neighbor had 3 dogs that barked constantly, till they died!! years and years of noise, day and night. I never knew dogs could do that.

I saw this site the other day.

If it works it would be very neat. Check it out.

My huge German Shepard is terrified of thunder storms and fire works. Can't figure out why, he never was before. He's 6 yrs and just started last year. Nothing like a 143 lb GS dog trying to climb in your lap or sitting, not laying between you and DH in bed in the middle of the night shaking like a leaf. We have happy pills for him too. He seems to be getting a little better, but still a little nervous during storms.

I am lucky, both my boys (Bichons), are good with thunderstorms and the fireworks we have going off around us lately.
