Will I ever learn!!

At the moment a clay pigeon club is banging away quite near us and Megan is terrified.
I have done all the usual things like closing windows and door etc and turned on the radio, but when I looked for her a short while ago, this is where she was. The nest she has made is 6 new rolls of shredded toilet paper.

Could have been worse, and she looks quite peaceful now.

Sorry June but, I'm pleased to see it isn't only us things like this happen to. We have a door mat that is now half covered in heavy duty sticky tape where I have tried to mend it after one of the jack russels tries to 'kill' it every time the postman calls!

Of course Milli, I could put the rolls away immediately on buying, or at least shut the door. This isn't the first time it has happened.

Aww bless her, giving the Andrex puppy a run for his money I think, so cute

[Gwenoakes]

Awww, bless her. But sorry had to

May I make a suggestion? Keep the shredded toilet paper then when she is frightened again put them in the loo/bathroom, that way you wont, or rather she wont be using new loo rolls.

Got to smile, poor Megan,

What a sweetie, Albertajune!!! Sweet that she found a way to comfort herself when stressed. Yes, maybe you should make her a box with the toilet paper scraps in it. She may really bond with her "comfort bed." I can tell that you are a great "mama" to this precious dog.

...least it wasn't the couch

such a pretty little dog, and a good idea to stuff the shredded loo paper into a bag for the next time shes upset (or does it have to be 'fresh' ) Poor little girls - have you tried a THUNDERSHIRT? Ive heard its really good for dog anxiety? (Its available from AMAZON)

No I haven't tried a thundershirt but have heard about them. The trouble is that she hears the noise before we do and clay pigeon shooting can be on a beautiful day, not like thunder itself, so not always expected In this instance it was only her behaviour that alerted us to the pops going off. If weather is a bit stormy, we do wrap her and make a little dark place for her to go to, where she just sits and shakes. We have only had this 14yr old girl for just under a year so are still learning about her.

my pooch gets in the washbasket under the kitchen table and covers herself if she hears thunder or fireworks..being under there seems to make her feel safe .

Shame your little pooch couldnt stuff the tissue in her ears! bless her
