OT: MGoDog Roll Call
It's finally here! Every dog's least favorite weekend of the year. Remember - shelters see almost TWICE the volume this time of year with the fireworks and dogs freaking out and running away. Take care of your pets! Let's see your MGoDogs and hope that everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July.
Here's Maize in her natural position - messing up the bed. This weekend she'll spend with her Thundershirt on either under the bed or in the back of the closet.

A lot of people think he's a lab mix, but he's a mix of Staffordshire/German Shepherd/Husky/ other. We did a DNA test after we started thinking he was a Malinois mix. Maybe that "other" on the DNA test has some Lab in it.
Post a pic of yours if you can. I'd like to see the similarities.
Thanks! He's half Staffordshire and the other half is a mix of German Shepherd/Husky/other.

Pit bulls are one of the top dogs for temperament.

My dog, Doc, isn't scared of much. He's treed bears, bitten beavers (literally) and heard countless shotgun blasts over his head while bird hunting. But he's sacred AF of fireworks. We're heading out backpacking far away from any festivities this weekend.
Wikipedia: Its principal value is as a chemical restraint in hyper or fractious animals. However it does not relieve anxiety and some believe it may make anxiety worse in the long run if used in an anxious animal (for example, thunderstorm phobias).
5mg pills from a vet........1/2 for a 60-pound dog will just make the dog very mellow........and then sleep.
