Peanut is becoming more fearful recently.

     Good thinking.  I think we'll set it up full time by TV and maybe throw a treat in there once in a while.

     Set kennel by TV and lured her in a few times w/ kibble treats (she's easy!).  She was hesitant and did not stay a bit longer than needed.

     Thunderstorm in afternoon and Martha puts on the Thundershirt on Peanut and sits w/ her in the hall bathroom (a common secure go to place in days past).  When I went and sat by the TV and called, Peanut came and directly went into the kennel!  After a bit she laid down even though it was still stormy.

     Hope this holds up.  Pretty sure the shirt is taking the edge off and making this easier.

    I'm glad it seems to be helping.

     The heavy duty July 4th fireworks last evening did their number on Peanut.  She wanted to stay in the smallish hall bath where she sat shivering in her thundershirt.  

     

    But the earlier thundershower  was tolerated much better, indicating the shirt does help and may gradually lead her to tolerate thunder much better - maybe even outgrow the shirt for weather issues someday.
