that's great that your mum's house is a bit quiter and you can at least go there some of the time.

and it's amazing that the RSPCA was able to effect any kind of change at all!

my friend at work Alli has 3 dogs that go absolutely apeshit whenever there's a thunderstorm and she proactively (when she can) medicates them all. sometimes those storms are sneaky, though, and show up unexpectedly in the middle of the night and all hell breaks out in her house - horrible :(
