We went to my Grandpeep’s cabin this weekend; my sister brought a car humidifier and put lavender in it to see if it would help my car anxiety.
Mom was in hopes it would because she really wants to go to the BAR.  It helped some but not enough for a 14 hour road trip.  Doc doesn’t have car anxiety just look at him.
He is always happy to be going.  I may not like the ride but I do love the cabin there’s lots of stuff to sniff.
 Me and Rory waiting for someone to take us to the pond.
Granddad said there was a dead coon down by the pond so Doc and I had to stay on the leash.  Mom did let me get a sniff on him.
That old coon would have been great to roll in.  I can smell the aroma now.  Look at Rory fishing her little heart out; she has the patience of Job.
Staying on a leash made it tough to play with Tohbi.
She is really sweet and lots of fun.  Gypsy on the other paw is a real B word.
She growls at me and tries to sneak up on me.  Last year she actual nipped me and I haven’t liked her since nor has mom.  Cause we don’t do ugly!

  3. You get lavender to smell instead of dead coon? No wonder you have a car problem.

  4. We are Sorry that the car thingy didn't Help... We would LOVE to have you come to BAR, Sully.
    WHATTTttttttttttttttttttttttt?????? Why on Earth would your peeps NOT allow you to Have your Way with that deaded thingy? WE think THAT Scent would have CURED your Car issues... THAT was another example of PEEPS wasting their Green Papers... when you COULD have had that Wonderful AROMA THERAPY fur FREE. SHEESH.

    OMD it would be just the bestest thing if your peeps could find something to help ya in the car Sully... We'd all love to see you at the BAR!!! Lavender is certainly a sedative and calming, but if there is anxiety which is causing agitation, restlessness and such like, it may be a more targeted aroma would be useful; Frankincense, Neroli and/or Vetiver are all great and can be blended with the lavender or used singly. It is important to remember that your own shnozzle, Sully, is very much more responsive than your peeps, so best to advise them to maybe try just putting two drops on your collar and rub it in well; doing this at least half an hour before the actual trip is probably more beneficial. Of course the V-E-T could come up with something temporary to help, but aroma's gotta be better than P-I-L-L-S, what?!! (Don't think eau-de-mortcoon will quite do the trick, sadly...)

    Sending you lots of travelling vibes from the OoWaC, hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  7. I'm sorry you get nervous in the car. I used to have that issue, too, but it went away on its own, luckily. Hope your anxiety disappears, too.

  12. The lavender is a really good idea. I just think it would have taken a truck full of lavender for a 14 hour trip

  16. Crikey Sully ..... I hate car rides too but Mum and Dad travel a LOT so I just had to cope. I didn't until they put my crate in the car. Now I'm ok. I still don't like it but I don't get stressed like I used to. They covered my crate at first so it was nice and dark but now they can leave it uncovered and I'm still ok. Might be worth a try. Shame you couldn't roll in that deaded coon, aye??

  18. What a great trip. Mom uses T Away by Young Living Essential Oils for us. It is designed for pet anxiety. She also uses some anxiety stuff she got in New Mexico. It comes in a dropper. It's made from flowerers. It is very calming. She used it and it worked on her too. It's some kind of tea too she said.
