Myko's Blue Blanket



Myko is a nervous dog, which isn't all that uncommon, but rather extreme in his case. His family does whatever they can do to help him feel calm and secure. That starts out with their unconditional love and affection. But Myko needed more, and that came from a security blanket. Myko's blue blanket is familiar and comforting, and goes everywhere with him. It's became part of his identity!

Still, there are times when Myko's anxiety rises up, like during fireworks or thunderstorms. My cat Apollo is terrified of thunder, and he crawls into the cabinet under my desk during storms, because an enclosed space is comforting, and he knows I am nearby. Myko's family made him his own enclosed space so he can feel safe during stressful times, and anytime he needs some comfort. You'll be surprised at how nice it is! If only every pet owner paid such attention to their animal's specific needs. You can see more of Myko and his family at Instagram and TikTok.
