And still working

Dear Sophie,
Can you believe this? Thunder is rolling and you're snug, cozy, and quiet. Of course when there was a ginormous hail storm, you were interested enough to get up and look at it, but there was no trembling or pacing. Thank you, Thundershirt!!

Thundershirt Works Like Magic

Sophie models her ThundershirtDear Sophie,
Fall thunder-storms are once again upon us and, as usual, you're a nervous nellie. I just can't figure out what in the world could've happened to you in the past couple of years to make you so afraid of storms and other assorted loud noises. I guess it doesn't matter ... something did. So I shelled out about 45 dollars for an anti-anxiety wrap called a Thundershirt, and just waited for the time to come when you'd need it. That time was today.
Your reaction to thunder hadn't changed any. You were trembling, pacing, and panting! I put your Thundershirt on and, in about ten or fifteen minutes, you were stretched out on your bed all quieted down and relaxed. Wow ... what a great invention! Definitely worth the money, and a whole lot easier and better-fitting than trying to swaddle you with towels and diaper pins. I love this jacket!! Glad it was so comfortable for you, Soph ... the weatherman is predicting continued storms for the next couple of days.
