Please help!! My adopted dog is terrified of storms and don't let us sleep! What can we do?
Hello!! I hope someone can help me, because me and my husband are about to go crazy. A week ago we adopted a female Shih Tzu from our local shelter, she was dumped by her previous family because she was getting old (she’s 6 years old) but honestly I think they spoiled her way too [...]
Would you call child services?
Basically, you have a baby, you get a crib. I’ve never seen it done any other way. I recently babysat overnight at a coworkers house with my daughter (they have animals that could not come to my house) and took her bassinet. I was shocked to discover that neither her 6 month old or nearly [...]

I have a 3 year old Chihuahua mix named Daisy who is absolutely terrified of my 2 pet rats. She cowers in fear from them underneath my bed when they are left out to play. She runs away whenever they get within 5 feet from her. She sits literally on my head shivering in fear [...]
Is this typical or should I mention to my therapist?
I do have a history of mental illness and so does my family. Lately, I have been extremely perfectionistic. Like, for example, if I fall on waterskis I will start crying and become very depressed. Everything I write has to be spelled completely perfect and everything I own and buy has to be perfect in [...]

If your pet has fear of storms, what should you do?
The dog does not need drugs to help the fear. However, he hides. He wants me to lie on the sofa and let him sleep by my feet. He will not go on the bed because he is small and the bed is a hospital be; slim and high. Should I give in and sleep [...]
How do you fall asleep during a thunderstorm when noises keep you up?
I can’t sleep and I’m so tired, but noises keep me up. I can’t fall asleep with music on or anything that drowns out noises because I can’t stop concentrating on them long enough to drift off. Right now there is a thunderstorm so I really can’t get to bed. Rains usually not that bad [...]

Do dogs have a fear of lightning?
Our dog has recently developed a pretty large fear of lightning. I don’t know whether or not it’s the loud cracking of it, the flashing lights, or just the ambiance that it provides. Nevertheless, whenever it storms it cowers, either becoming very close to me or hiding under the sofa, bed, etc. Can anyone explain [...]

She is a year old. We just got her and she is a datsun (sp?) eskimo mix. She is very sweet, but she is a very nervous dog. She came from an older disabled women who kept her outside in a kennel all day. She is an inside dog now and seems to love it. [...]

I have a blind mini dachshund that has a slight amount of sight (about 10% or less) in one eye. He normally learns quickly when a room is changed around and he can get around obstacles, but I recently put my bed up on a bed frame, so it is about a foot higher than [...]
