As soon as I got home from work, I put Cooper in his new Thundershirt, and then had him read the instructions.
Lookie here, Cooper--it says that "...Thundershirt’s gentle, constant pressure has a dramatic calming effect for most dogs if they are anxious, fearful or over-excited."
Cooper says, "If you say so, but I'm not convinced."
Well, I'm not convinced either, but I'm willing to give it a try. Only time will tell. Time, and a thunderstorm, that is! This is a perfect time to sing along with one of my favorite Jo Dee Messina songs. Happy Dogs on Thursday!

I know two people who have tried the Thundershirt on their dogs and both reported good results. I'm interested in your opinion because we had a thunder storm last night and I slept with Morgan's head on my shoulder all night and she kicks in her sleep.
It sounds like a good idea. Just like bundling up a newborn. It's a fabric hug. I'd be interested in hearing how it goes.
Oh that last pic is adorable! PLEASE let me know how it works (or if it works)... if it truly does, I'm going to have to see if they have a Zeus size one!
Would it work for Gretchen Greer in the car too?
We've had so much thunder lately. Sigh.

I read this post and remembered reading this "Does it work" column about something similar. I don't know if it will help you or any of the others in thunder areas, but I figured I'd send you the link anyways.
