Dog Blog

The Dog Blog is a community of ordinary dog lovers who have come together to discuss our extraordinary dogs. Each Monday, a new topic is introduced. If you've got an opinion, share it. If not, look for the current "anything goes" topic and introduce a discussion of your own. On Fridays, weigh in about your training questions and successes.
Your host: Mike Lewis is a little-dog nerd and the proud owner of Eddie and Jillian, a pair of Yorkies who think they're huskies, and Lucy, a sweet Chessie. R.I.P., Rusty. Contact mlewis@adn.com

How did your dogs fare in the windstorm?

Did they get nervous with all the sounds? Refuse to go outside? Or did they ignore all the fuss?

Jillie and Lucy were oblivious to the commotion, but Eddie struggled. He acted like he does when fireworks are going off outside. Fortunately, Kelly was home with him. She put on his Thundershirt and gave him a few drops of rescue remedy, and he eventually got some sleep.

Lucy's only problem was the wind caused her to miss her evening walk -- that coming on the heels of an abbreviated morning walk. She was bouncing off the walls with energy, and even tore a hole in her bed. Note to self: Don't skimp on morning walks when there's a windstorm in the forecast for the evening.

How did your dogs fare? And for those not in Anchorage, have your dogs ever experienced a natural disaster?
