Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Good morning everyone 🙂

What a night last night was, two storm cells that just sat over the top of us. Massive lightening and thunder. Problem is that our German Shepherd is soooo scared of the storms and I ran out of medication for her 😞 I tried so hard to calm her but no no avail !! a storm is approaching and I've got to take my daughter to her appointment arrrggg

Morning @YTT

My old German Shepherd was the same! She would try to escape. I think she felt that if she ran and ran she would escape the thunder. If we anticipated a storm and knew we wouldn't be home, we would create a safe corner for her with all her favourite toys and blankets - just to give her a sense of familiarity amd safety. The vet said that this can be helpful. I know this isn't always practical for people though. (eg: you may not want to keep her in the house)

I know how distressing it can be for us fur parents (is that a real term?) - so I hope the storm holds out for you.

Good morning all.

@NikNik@YTT, I love a good thunderstorm, but then I'm neither a dog nor a dog owner. I know some friends with dogs and horses have a headache of a time calming and/or catching them when a storm goes over. Hope both the drive and the appointment go well YTT and that your dog copes OK.
