So, I bought my verrrry energetic weimaraner, Sampson, a Thundershirt. Heard about it? No? Google it. Its basically a really tight wrap-around compression shirt for dogs that is supposed to ease their anxiety when you put it on, especially during Thunderstorms, Thus: the"thundershirt". Its the same basic idea of swaddling a baby. Get it? Okay. Well, I guess you DON'T have to google it.

Here in Dallas we have been having these intense t-storms out the wazoo. No lie. Sampson has been sleeping in a teensy laundry basket in the closest for days straight, and the other day he refused to potty outside (or inside, if you were wondering) for a FULL 24 hours! How is that possible, I don't even know! Maybe I just haven't found it yet... Anyway! I should have known that putting ANYTHING on Sampson (i.e. a leash, halter, dress, socks) he tries to attack me and I end up chasing him around for 15+ minutes before I get to the point when I usually say SCREW IT and give up. Wellllllll that was pretty much the same-old same-old song and dance today. I had to fight him FOREVAAA to get the damn thing on him. Here's about how it went.

| Attempt #1. Sampson-1 Thundershirt-0 |

| Attempt #2: Sampson-2, Thundershirt-0 |

| My best and final attempt at getting it on correctly |
Once all was said and done, Sampson layed motionless on the couch. Not sure if this means the shirt is "working" or not. . .
