That Mutt posted: My Dog Has Extreme Fireworks and Thunder Anxiety
In this post, four dog owners share their tips for helping their dogs with extreme fireworks or thunder anxiety.
What do you do if nothing seems to work?
I asked four dog owners how they manage their dogs’ fears, because sometimes you just can’t make their fears go away.
I hope this post is helpful to others who have extremely fearful dogs. Please share this post if it will help a dog you know.

FTC Finalizes Settlement with Online Rewards Website That Allegedly Failed to Implement Reasonable Data Security
*PRESS RELEASE REFERENCE: April 24, 2019 - FTC Alleges Operators of Two Commercial Websites Failed to Protect Consumers’ Data
Allegations against ClixSense
ClixSense pays its users to view advertisements, perform online tasks, and complete online surveys. The company collects personal information from users, such as their full names, dates of birth, email and postal addresses, usernames, passwords, and answers to security questions, as well as Social Security numbers for those who make more than $600 a month.
The FTC alleges that the website’s operator, James V. Grago, Jr., deceived consumers by falsely claiming that ClixSense “utilizes the latest security and encryption techniques to ensure the security of your account information.” In fact, ClixSense failed to implement minimal data security measures and stored personal information in clear text with no encryption. The complaint also alleges that ClixSense failed to implement readily available measures to limit access between computers on ClixSense’s network; failed to change default login and password credentials for third-party company network resources; and maintained consumers’ personal information, including consumers’ names, dates of birth, answers to security questions, login and password credentials, and Social Security numbers, in clear text.
