Awwww, hugs for sky booms. So cute, even though I know you're concerned about the stress.

SHE SHAKES SO MUCH.

[zesty_pinto]

Is there a tent or some shelter you can make for her to scoot into?

[conuly]

Oh, once she's on my lap I toss a blanket over her. Since she is looking now for snuggles rather than hiding under the bathtub or wherever, it seems to be adequate. Or if it's late enough I go on my bed and tuck us both in.
