As most of you probably know, Kingsley suffers from anxiety. While we now leave him uncrated in the apartment, his excitement/anxiety before embarking on a car ride has gotten out of control. Kingsley loves traveling so much that he works himself into a frenzy, and is literally (not figuratively) unable to contain himself (he peed in the car about a month ago). The moment he see the suitcases or backpacks full of clothes, he launches into a doggy temper tantrum which involves jumping, whining, howling, crying and collapsing onto the ground for dramatic effect. Now, hopefully, we have found the answer: the thunder shirt. I found the thunder shirt awhile back but it has taken until now for Kingsley's Ma and Pops to see eye to eye on the issue (it helps that the vest is called the "Thunder Shirt" and not the "Anti-Anxiety Vest for your Designer (or designer-esque) Dog." And with another car ride fast approaching this Friday, we'll have the opportunity to put it to test!
