I'm on it!

That's definitely on the list.

Your smelly T shirt....

Seriously though, we found when we take our babies on a trip they get a little anxious, while they are in their own kennels, and you are traveling with them too, they can still get a little nervous.  I have put T shirts on my pillow to sleep on for a couple nights, and then the night before we leave I sleep in that same T shirt (is that weird?  lol)  Then it goes in the kennel.  If we take the WHOLE crew I have the WHOLE family provide a 'smelly shirt'

The dogs snuggle up with these shirts and it really seems to settle them down.....more so than just having their favorite blankie and toys etc.

Hmmmm, wondering if that makes me super weird, and then wondering why I even care if it does! I shall own it with pride!

I've done that in the past too

A couple good days of stink will calm the bulldog mind  :)

Hey, I did that too!

I had knee surgery recently, had to board  Mr. Higgins at the vet. I slept on an old towel for a few nights and gave it to them. I never really knew if it did anything for him, but it made me feel better. I do it when he is in for surgery too.

No, we are not crazy, just crazy about our bullies and would do anything in the world for them.
