fireworks

[Lily Freya]

Cindy hates them...She has to be sedated for a whole fortnight and again on new years eve...
Not that long ago we had been of to play badminton one Thursday afternoon there was a very bad thunderstorm that afternoon with an almighty clap of thunder right over us( a bolt of lightning came down near to us)..On getting home we came into the living room to find poor Cindy behind the T.V tanged up in all the wiring shaking like hell...It was a wonder she did not have the lot on top of her..We have to stay and turn up the T.V full volume to drown the sound of the fireworks...

Peggy the cocker is not bothered one iota...

Ah, poor Cindy.  And the trouble is that fireworks go on for so long these days.  They are not just around of bonfire night, but for other celebrations too now.

Keli loved fireworks and thunder too. I suspect Tali will need the squeezy cheese trick. I may give that a go for the lift and postie too.

Roxy Isn't bothered at all! I think its 'cos we just carried on as normal and didn't fuss when she was a baby.  She does hate the clanking noise ladders make though and barks like mad at them!

I suspect its cos she was scared by the window cleaner appearing one day while we were out!

We had some going off the other night and more tonight. Fortunately, Charlie hasn't taken any notice of them. Also, our normal local fireworks display isn't on this year as they can't use the grounds they normally do so may not have too many here luckily!!!

Jess - six months old - is actually quite interested, and not frightened at all.  Round here the fireworks always seem to start early and there were some this last weekend.  I heard the noise and went to find Jess, she was sitting outside looking up at the sky with great interest.    Mind you she is quite used to hearing shotguns going off and doesn't turn a hair at that either.

[Macy and Tia]

My 2 love them! We had some fireworks the other night and they where desperate to come ouside to see! Macy even had her head out of the cat flap to watch them 

[Silver Surfer (indiesnan)]

Nell couldn't care less they don't bother her at all, nothing seems to phase her.

We brought Bailey home on Halloween 4 years ago and one of the first times we left him alone (albeit due to an emergency) was guy fawkes night.
I don't know what happened when we were out but ever since then he has never bothered a single bit with fireworks! We have been out & about and some have gone off feet from us and he hasn't flinched. We sometimes go into the garden and watch the ones across the river & Bailey likes to come too!

Misha will give a bark initially and then after that ignore them (which is what I try to do).  I think that because I ignore it all they don't bother.  Not sure what Lexi and Ellie will do.  We've had a few go off and whilst Ellie did jump (she was mid-pee  ) I could see that she noted that Misha and Roly didn't  bat an eyelid.  I do think that Lexi will struggle with it, given that she will bark at any little thing.

Some ten years ago..

When we had are Cindy and waiting to take her over the park for the first time...There is a club house were they have wedding receptions that after noon we where fairly close by...As women alway like to see the bridesmaid in all her glory the photographer was taking there pictures on the greens out side the club house....

Later on as we heading back home they started to let rockets of(In broad day light)..And this is what we reckon has scared are Cindy ever since..

That has been said some C.O.L members says there dogs are not bothered by fire works(Are Peggy is not either) But at some point are Cindy and other members dogs mite have been traumatize at some point in there life when they was young....And are frighten of any such bangs going off...Is the only conclusion i can see.....

Fizzy dobie wasn't frightened of fireworks (apart from wanting to go outside and kill them if they were particularly loud) that sort of rubbed off on Tiff when she came. Have yet to see how Sasha reacts as it's been quite quiet around here for a change.

I normally just don't react if there's a loud bang and pretend everything is normal.  Will have my tube of primula ready tho (thanks for the vid topbarks!)

Glad to say Grace has seen her first fireworks and she seems to like them no barking so far
