Another Huge Thunderstorm 1 reply
We just had another terrible thunderstorm and I thought of my previous post about Dr. Bach’s Rescue Remedy. Tillie has been taking doses during thunderstorms for some time and she is now exhibiting much less fear. In fact, she has made it through several short thunderstorms without any. The one today was big so I gave her some RR. She is fine.
This is a miracle for Tillie. She was so miserable during storms and I felt so sorry for her. Nothing would calm her until Rescue Remedy. As I said before, I am not an affiliate for this product or for drugstore.com which is where I got it.
If you have a dog who has specific fears, this might be just what you are looking for.
The link is long so I embedded it but I promise you will not find an affiliate number in that link. Just check it out. I use the liquid for Tillie.

Way To Go, Leah!
Florida woman defends dogs from otter
BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 4 (UPI) — When a Florida woman saw an otter attempt to drag her dogs into a canal, the Mediterrania resident responded by punching the otter until it retreated.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Leah Vanon was forced to wade into the canal’s water and repeatedly punch the otter after it viciously attacked her Labrador and then her smaller fox terrier.
“It was attacking her to death,” Vanon said of Tuesday’s event. “It wasn’t going to stop until it killed her.”
The dogs received treatment for their wounds and did not require stitches.
A resident of a Boca Raton suburb and a mother of two, Vanon said otters are rarely seen in the area and none of her neighbors had ever complained of their behavior before.
David Hitzig, director of the area’s Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, said the attack could have been the territorial in nature.
“Maybe the dogs surprised the babies and mom went into defensive mode,” he told the Sun-Sentinel. “Otters are curious creatures but never make contact.”
