It mellows him out, he just lays there in your lap (miniature pinscher) and licks anything that has at anytime been near salt. A few hours later hes usually napping on the porch and is cool for the rest of the day. It's just nice when I have alot of people over and he starts freaking out..there are a couple, two of my best friends in particular oddly that he just hates and actually bites at sometimes if he's worked up..because he can cope and we can cope and it doesn't require him miserable and hiding or having to be put in another room alone. He's just weird. The smoke doesn't bother him like it does my other dog and my cat and its only a few hits usually. The cat got high and went on a mouse hunting spree outside, which ended in like three dead animals brought into my kitchen for me to step on barefoot so I'm not messing with that again. The cats crazy, too, though. Actually, all my animals are kind of nuts. The other dog is almost catatonically depressed, like eeyore from winnie the pooh. Guess thats what you get when people dump their animals on your property and you keep 'em, you never know what terrible shit people did to them before they found you.
