Preparing for Irene...

In a few hours Hurricane Irene could bring strong winds and rain to the Eastern Carolinas.  Already we've had a lot of rain today.  I went out today to purchase some bottled water and peanut butter "just in case" and a few other items...

The Thundershirt!  Baby has terrible seperation anxiety and a fear of thunder and other loud noises.  I've heard a lot of great things about this item and I can't wait to see if it helps.  She calmed down a few minutes after I put it on her and was able to take a nap through today's rainstorm.  It is suppose to have the same effect on a dog as swaddling a crying infant.  I think she looks great it in!

We can't go through a storm without dog treats!  Baby has been out for a couple days so I bought her these adorable Buddy's All Natural Peanut Butter Flavored Cookies.

These weren't exactly purchased for the storm.  I actually bought these a couple weeks ago because I wanted a good pair of rainboots that could function in muddy conditions and even snow.  After quite a bit of searching I went with an Orginial Hunter Wellington.
