So, I bought a slightly-used Thundershirt for my "slightly-used dog" (Lacey, onviously) on Ebay. It arrived yesterday, but I waited until today to try it on her. I didn't think it was helping calm her at all, until I witnessed THIS. You must understand, this dog hides everything I give her to chew and never lies down out in the open.




In other news, Zombie Chihuahuas are attacking Massachusetts residents' laps:

(Is this normal relaxing Chi behavior? She always does this. She'll flop on her back and stretch herself waaaaay out and then stretches her front legs down between her back ones and stays there for hours.)




(Is this normal sleeping Chi behavior?)


While on the topic of sleeping Chihuahuas, Lacey gets irritated when the Mumarazzi get camera-happy and decides to try hide herself.



And one last picture for the sake of "awwws"

She's just so cute! She looks like she is smilling in that first picture! If you find the thundershirt worth it, please let me know, I have a few I would like to try it on, mostly for separation anxiety, though Delilah is terrified of fireworks.
Yes, mine love to sleep that way. Especially Reggie, he will sleep all day on his back in the crook of my arm if my arm didn't go numb after a while. And a bunch of the others sleep that way, too.

She's a cute. Quinn will sleep on his back with all of his feet in the air.

Glad to hear someone else has funny-sleepers! I will definitely let you know if the Thundershirt helps. She definitely seems more confident walking around the apartment. Either she's just in a good mood today, or the shirt is working. I got it for separation anxiety, so hopefully my landlord won't have to tell me my "cat howls when I leave" anymore.
