Here's a post on how to create a custom masking sound for a sound-phobic dog, particularly one who is afraid of thunder or fireworks. So many products sold to supposedly help such dogs are bogus. This is simple, non-sexy biophysics.

There are lots of options for masking scary sounds in your dog's environment. Here's one you may not have thought of.

Millie’s calendar has been busier than mine over the last week or so! At 13 years old, she’s had physio, acupuncture, and hydrotherapy to keep her comfortable and mobile as she ages. We’re helping her stay active, happy, and able to enjoy life as only a Springer can!

Visit to the magic barn today for physio for Millie. 13 years old and though she doesn’t think she’s an old dog old age is definitely making its presence felt!

Canine physio alongside other treatments can be very beneficial in keeping an old dog comfortable and enjoying their golden years.

Having been off sick for 5 weeks with no screen time or reading allowed had to listen to audiobooks. First up was this book by Chris Brookmyre. Not my usual fare but was a good book with unexpected ending.

Still nothing better than reading a book though!
