Dog Terrified of Smoke Smell

I had to comment on your 4 handsome boys! I love the Boston's of course were partial to them. My wife and I have 4 Boston's, we did have 5 but lost our senior just over a month ago and it still hurts like yesterday.

One of the posters above mentioned the thundershirt, I second that one 200%. Our youngest Boston is blind in one eye and he was a rescue from a raided puppy mill. He is deathly afraid of a thunderstorm and trust me he knows it's coming way before we do. I don't know what it is about him but he is better at forecasting a pending storm better than the local weather forecasters. Anyway thanks to the advice of several members of the form we purchased one. Truthfully I was skeptical about them working but when he starts going through his little routine that tells us a storm is coming out comes the thundershirt and he will sleep right through it and won't flinch.

By the way, Thank You for adopting!

Aren't Bostons just the best? The logo of our business, SmileDog Embroidery, is a Boston and it's named after our Digby who is almost always smiling. I guess I might have to give the Thunder Shirt another try. I hate puppy mills! I wonder what it is about puppy mill dogs that they are so afraid of thunder. Maybe their cages are outside and it's just scary. I mentioned to someone else that we had a rescue, Sheldon, who was a puppy mill dog for 8 long years. He was so afraid of thunderstorms, fireworks, loud noises on the TV, TV thunder. The Thunder Shirt just made him more hot and pant more. Poor little guy. :( I do see that they work for a lot of people!
