Max and I having a ruffff time

Hi folks,
It's been a busy couple of weeks for Max and I. The developer behind our house is finished his blasting but not before Max nearly had a nervous breakdown. I don't know which bothered him the most, the actual blast or the horn blowing to signal the beginning and end.
I ended up taking him to the vet who perscribed a natural anti anxiety drop. It worked a little too well , I gave him 5 drops and was relieved to see him finally relax after 15 minutes. He was settled on the couch when the city planner returned my call. I wanted to see how much longer this was going to go on , I think he thought I was a little nuts when I said my dog was having panic attacks due to the noise. But I digress, as I was busy explaining the situation Max looked calmly up at me and puked all over the couch. I thought oh great, I didn't want to hang up but I wanted to clean up the mess as well. Max meanwhile was in lala land, couldn't have cared less. I went to the cupboard and got out a bottle of pet cleaner spray, still listening to this guy go on about blasting, I sprayed the couch and was scrubbing it hard to get rid of the stain when I thought' hey wait, this isn't the right bottle" so I put on my glasses and read I was using hardwood floor polish to clean my couch......All this time Max was sleeping like a lamb ( it was needed as he had been shaking and sleepless for 2 days ) I went back and grabbed the proper product and scrubbed to get rid of the mess I had created. Meanwhile this city planner was wrapping it up by telling me everything would be over soon but by this time he was just a voice at the other end of the phone going blahblahblah....Max had a much needed rest and woke up in time for his supper and a walk. I gave thanks to the inventor of Microfiber.

Poor little Max, this is clearly very traumatic to the lttle guy. I hope the drops keep working and the noise stops all together.

Tell Max Gidget and Dexter send him a little kiss to get better!

Please keep us posted on the little guy!

I am so sorry that you and Max are having a rufff time but I can hardly type this with the tears in my eyes...............I haven't stopped laughing since I read the middle to the end of your post. OMG it sounds like a sit com. I am sorry if I sound insensitive, I am sympathetic to your plight but you have the funniest most entertaining way of putting things. Thanks for the laugh but also sorry......I don't know what to say first. LOL

Well what a time you two are having.

I'm glad your vet found something natural to help get Max some well earned rest & as for using the wrong cleaner on the sofa

I think you better have some of what Max is on to help you get a good sleep to.

Fingers crossed this works for Max and it all ends real soon

Big Hugs & Slobbers

I am so glad that Max finally got some sleep. Poor Guy.
He must have been exhausted ...

Just sending out a little thinking of you and Max post. How is Max doing? Is there still a lot of the construction events happening out there? Hopefully all is stopped. Please let us know how he is doing!
