Thundershirts and Mudwraps

"Sawsadee.  Miss Nancy, have you heard about Thundershirts?”

”Chang, that’s undershirts not thundershirts.” 

“Nope, it’s definitely Thundershirts.  They’re strictly DCC; that’s Doggie Comfort Clothes. They’re for dogs that are afraid of storms and other loud frightening noises.  The shirts slip onto the dog and are fastened with Velcro and the dog is no longer afraid.”  A fellow in North Carolina got the idea of how to help his pooch who had a terrible time when he heard thunder. I know just how he felt."

“Well, I’m amazed!  And it really works?”

“Yes, they are selling them everywhere.  I wonder if they are all soft and squishy inside?”

“Chang, how do you hear about this stuff?”

“Silly girl.  I have a computer.  Now, I was just thinking … “

“Oh, no. Chang, don’t get me into this.”  

“You know the problem we elephants have with insects that love to come and farm our skin. They make it so itchy.  That’s why we delight to roll in muddy lakes. Mud baths are so soothing.  Now, if we had some ECC, like the dogs, wouldn’t that be nice.  Something sewn inside with lamb’s wool is what I have in mind. No Thai silks, this is everyday wear.”

“Chang, this is ridiculous.  Even if it were possible, do you know how BIG your clothes would have to be?”

“Ah, ha.  Now, you’re alluding to my size.” 

“Oh, Chang.”

“You ladies have mud packs, why can’t elephants have Mudwraps?

“Good night, Chang.”

“Sawsadee, Miss Nancy."
