Katie and I have a morning routine…work day or not.
She gets me up between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m. I haven’t set an alarm clock in months and I’m always early to work. And I get a nice early start to my weekends too! Her Dad on the other hand says she never gets him up early on those mornings when I’m not at home. Hmmmm…
Anyway, after we’re up we head for the bathroom where she naps on the floor while I shower and get ready for the day. Apparently her job is done and it’s time for a little shut eye.
But yesterday morning as we emerged from the bathroom I heard a distant but distinct roll of thunder. Katie wasn’t sure what she heard and she tensed up and looked at me, ready to take care of any clear and present danger. I grabbed her thunder shirt and hustled her into it. I wanted to avoid waking her Dad if we could.
Obviously her thunder shirt does not deter her from eating. Nothing deters her from eating, and wearing this shirt only emphasizes how model thin she is. She thinks it shows off her curves very well.
But shortly after breakfast the thunder rolled in for real. Would the shirt work? Would Katie feel more secure and less like she needed to defend her home from the marauding weather?
I think not.
Silly girl.

Sorry it didn’t work so well! But you do look good in it Katie!
Not to worry, the riots didn’t get any where near us, but it still scary to think how peoples can behave.
I snuck on Grandmaws computer! hehe

Reilly just tends to sleep through thunder/storms not much phases him other then the 12 o’clock tornado siren test and BAGPIPES ! Katie does look cute in her ink jacket – love the way her fur sticks out 🙂

Maybe the powers of the jacket increase with wearing. Maybe eventually she’ll just look up, say “Thunder, I banish thee!” and then ignore. There is always hope.

Does she just bark at it? Or does she shake and try to hide and become a nervous wreak? It is a very cute color on her.

No shaking, no crying, not nervous. She’s just barking at the ceiling, or out the window, or at the front door, wherever she feels the bad thing is coming from. We think she believes she is in charge (which, frankly she is) and that she has to handle the danger. But she barks ferociously. And for as long as the storm lasts. Including just rain. At night. When I have to go to work the next day. 😦

That’s too bad. I have been begging Mommy to spend the green papers to get me one to try since so many blog friends have had it work. Good to know it’s not perfect! Don’t forget to stop by our bloggy and get Jimmy’s Birthday Bash Badge to be entered into our giveaway! 🙂
