Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Matt's subconscious is a freaky place.
I prefer Mac's version of Itsy Bitsy Spider. Let's call it "Die, Bitsy Spider, Die!"
Owen has new Buzz Lightyear shoes for preschool and Liv has new, baby Skechers. I got a pair of white shorts for Hawaii and some tank tops.
sarameg sounds like she lives in my neighborhood. The thunder is incredible just now. Bartleby is actually trembling...which is not his way. Not sure what to do for him.
Ooh, Cashmere - you're going to Hawaii? That sounds exciting!
I would love to have a dream about the MCR boys. Please.
Yay, Eastern Market!
I got new pillows and a Brita water filter this weekend. Am now drinking Britaed water with fresh lemon juice and a little Splenda. It's like super subtle lemonade. Yum.
Poor Bartleby. Beej, can you distract him with a familiar game? Let him know everything's normal and OK despite the noise? I think giving extra-special attention when they're scared just reinforces, in their minds, that there's really something to be scared of.
Why on earth did you look at her picspam?
Because shrift is the ID of fandom. It's like popping the hood on the whole scene.

Definitely this.
I tried just leaving my hand on him, moving his 'basket' (squishy bed) near me while I used the computer, climbing into my bed like we were going to take a nap and just ignoring the issue.
Nothing really worked.
During a break in the storm, we went for an around the block and he seems better now...but the thunder is starting up again.
I think just going to bed (him in his crate) is the best plan.
So much for that drought we were having.
When I opened up the freezer just now, a pint of lemon sorbet jumped out and attacked my foot.
I really wish it hadn't done that.
Now you will have to punish it by eating it, Lee. It's the only way.
One time I was staying at a friend's parents' house during a thunderstorm, and didn't realize I was sitting in the dog's seat on the sofa until he jumped up in my lap and tried to hide behind the pillows. Now, this was a German shorthair, so not a small dog. It was hilarious.
