Avatar changes !!!!!!!.

you have been busy lincslass........ and what a downpour youve had....my dogs use dto hate thunder... but por old Ella cant hear them now.. which is a good thing..... i like your new avatar pic..... i choose whatever i fancy.. usually which flowers i like at that time...... at least you wont have to water the garden...... ha dsome rain here this morning then turned out a nice day....

hi sue gosh you wore me out reading this lol, nice to help the kids when they start up home though, my son doesnt have a garden but helped set up his flat, just like to see things nice and comfortable for him,
poor brynner i use to watch that american guy on tv with dogs and was one on about getting a dog to go in car, he didnt do it by pushing and lifting, he had the dog on long lead then he climbed in first backward and the dog eventually followed, taking time and talking to the dog,after a few times and patients the dog eventually went in unaided,as for thunder not sure about that one, love the new avatar and pics lovely to ;o)))

Your snow took ages to thaw out ... lol .. your new avatar is much more in the season ... so sad when dogs are afraid of thunder but no idea how to help him. Like Holly said, wet morning here . beautiful afternoon now.

the rain on saturday evening/ night did come down, didn't it!!! i had the same thought- at least we're saving a bit on the water bill!
you've been very busy helping everyone out and i'm sure your daughter appreciates it- i love it when my mother in law comes to help me (my own mum refuses- too much with her own garden lol).
like the new avatar- you should take the same shot at the beginning of each month and change it to demonstarte the changing of the seasons!

Hi Sue...
You've had a busy time.
Any specific questions you have about Brynner which you don't get answered in this blog, you are welcome to send me a pm. and I'll give you some suggestions to help him.. xxx

ponds on the patio don`t sound good, although we appreciate the rain you seem to have had a drop too much (rain that is). I`m sure the plants will all spring back up again with the next bit of sunshine.

Well ....... you did have some rain. I hope it's stopped now.

We had our downpour,sunday evening,but no thunder.Fine yesterday,but light rain all today.Poor Brynner,I think most dogs are frightened in those conditions,Linclass,ours used to be too.I must admit though,I love your pic of him with his chewed bed...aww.Your garden is looking nice too,and looks like you had a very busy week.....

On the plus side my waterbutts are full and the lawn is green again, we really needed some rain just not all in one go..Mind you I`m catching up on here again so not all bad, lol....

We had hail as well as downpours here today, so it seems to have been bad in most of the UK, I think.

I do prefer your new pic to the chilly one! :-))

Hi L/lass, great blog as usual! Poor Brynner~I don't know if Terra has pm'd you this, but you can buy a cd for pets who are scared of thunder, and/or fireworks, which is suppose to work on sound therapy, so that they get use to the noise and eventually take little notice of it. I haven't tried this myself, but it might be worth looking in to it to see if it will help de-stress him~it has been around for a while, so there should be something on the internet about it. Hope that might be of some help. :~))

Hello Flori, thankyou for that, it has its funny side when he`s trying to sit on our laps or trying to get into the smallest dark corner but for his own sake I`d like to help him.......

When I was a teenager, oh many moons ago, we had a german shepherd dog that was terrified of thunder, so I know exacally what you are going through, L/lass. I can't promise it would help, but maybe worth looking into perhaps? I know you can get tablets, and there is even a plug-in that is suppose to help de-stress your pet, that I saw at my local RSPCA store......anything is worth a try if it makes Brynner's life less stressful. Have a word with your local vet, this is a much wider problem than you would think. I wish you success :~))x

Hi Sue...
In your pm, you said you were having trouble with p. messages, so this is just to say I've sent a reply to yours, with suggestions and ideas for helping Brynner. So check your inbox.. Lol... Terra. xxx

What a difference a season makes and even a day as I can see from your photos Sue. I`m really glad Perry isn`t bothered by loud noises as Jake used to be like Brynner and was scared stiff of thunder/fireworks etc. I wish I knew the answer because everything I did for Jake didn`t help I`m afraid.
