Fed up! Got home, changed my cloths, put my coat on, gathered my mobile, key
& poo bags together. Put an assortment of leads and harnesses on my 4 pack and headed for the front door. Opened the front door, four dogs went out and I put one foot over the threshold ... at that precise moment someone let off a rocket! Sadie & Holly almost turned inside out with fear, Tex decided he was going to take the offending rocket on single handed & win so reared up on two legs to give it a seeing to and Lady joined in not really knowing what was going on, but deciding to be part of it anyway!

Needless to say the walk was off and the telly is now turned up loud to block out the noise!

I HATE FIRE WORKS!

They can ban them as soon as they like Evil or Very Mad

. I hate this time of year. Millenium was like a war zone - even I thought the roof was coming in Evil or Very Mad

Since the fireworks started (about two weeks ago) Missy's won't toilet in the garden which means the hall carpet is getting another hammering and cold winter mornings have a new dimension of unpleasantness. Rolling Eyes

This will be my first year in ages where I don't think I have to worry because I don't have Ollie anymore. I would be surprised if Levi is bothered but he does not need any more excuses for me to fail at housetraining him Confused

Belle is a scaredy c*t with most things, but fireworks are one of the few things that dont bother her (hope thats not jinx'd it now!)

Little Tara wasn't scared of the fireworks here on Saturday and Sunday nor the sound of the ranges. However, she did check out the grandfather clock, the cuckoo clock and the Napoleon's hat clock... She 'nudged' the cuckoo clock's weights just in case.

My JRT used to totally ignore fireworks but the JRTX loved them - she found stuff like that exciting. She liked thunder too. Shocked

I don’t know who is more stressed in our house........we had fireworks for Dahwalli, we had fireworks for Halloween and now the next 4 days for Bonfire night....after every plug in the house has Dap, the water bowl has Rescue Remedy, we have strong sedatives from the Vet and STILL Bud is beyond fear and into heart racing, pacing, panting, crying, digging the furniture....we are only allowed to give him 2 tablets 4 at the most and they have had no effect........if anyone has any ideas how we can control his heart rate I would be grateful. We have tried feeding him pasta, mash potato, cheese all the treats you can think of...even when the fireworks are not going off he paces and pants for hours...last night I finally got to bed about 1am....I have started to put him in a cage with a blanket over which stops the pacing and digging but doesn’t help the crying and panting...we are in a terraced house and both sides have a Firework party one tonight and one Saturday................oh what joy!!!!!

Last year Vinnie ate his way through a door and badly grazed the top of his head trying to get through the hole he'd made.
This year have been dosing him up with 'Serene-Um' tablets. So far so good. Only a puddle or two on kitchen floor where he is too scared to go out through dog flap after dark

We seem to have a strange dog...he likes them! Watches them out the window, loves his walks at this time of the year.

Ever since we adopted him (two and half years ago today actually - I think) he's always been unconcerned about noises...all he wants to do is go and see what it is.

Lucy not bothered , but Billy is terrified - and he has a dodgy ticker Sad

Vet prescribes ACP but we also had some Diazepam from last time he slipped his disc and so we have tried that tonight - he is much better. Still trembling but at least settled in one place.

I so wish they would ban them all except for organised displays - at least you can be prepared for those.
