    True if it is metal. Is that you Iron Man?

    Your suit shrunk because the heat and tumbling motion tangled up the fibers pulling them closer together.

    .. Sorry to hear this Joe. :(

    Heat makes things expand (like bridges) but your suit shrinks because of the fibers in it. Somehing to do with hooks in the fiber that pulls it together when it's in the dryer, I read.

    It's just how fiber reacts to heat

    It just is determined by the dog. I had Belgian Shepherds Groenendaels and the female hated storms and would get away from the yard and lie in my mom-in-laws storage dealing with our house. It was the one time she would get away. The male couldn't care less about the storms and i had lightening hit the shed subsequent door with essentially the most deafening explosion of sunshine and sound. The male used to be in the entrance yard simplest metres away and wasn't worried in any respect. I have a Kelpie who additionally isn't fazed by way of thunder. I've a 5 month old Belgian Shepherd Malinois who hasn't been by means of a storm yet however because the construct up is beginning here i am going to desensitise him. A bit of of an scan cos i haven't completed this before however we get some significant thunder storms right here and that i do not need him freaking out. By the way, all my puppies had been outside puppies, though no longer chained up. Bzzflygirl: just right good fortune with your Belgian Shepherd. I suppose they're pleasant dogs and make super household pets.

    Simple answer: False

    Some things expand, some things shrink. Normally pliable items with molecules far apart may shrink such as most plastics and fibers.

    Depends on the density of the matter. your suit shrunk because the moisture was drawn out.
