.....how much I HATE fireworks?! Last night, not even the Fourth, we had them on three sides of our house. Neighbors behind us put on a display every year that's worthy of any town and every year they get longer and bigger and louder. They're half a mile up the mountain and so high we can see them clearly. Every dog in the area must be hiding. And tonight for good measure we'll have more, plus thunderstorms! Gaaah!

I got the dogs an emotional support blanket. Misty wasn't impressed. Hubby just rolled his eyes LOL. She and Flurry feel them the most. Ruffles can't hear them and Sprite is happy with a chew bone.

Spitfire mostly ignores them now that he does not hear as well. Ian dislikes them but just stays close(er) to me. He got in my lap last night for a bit. Tonight I plan on breaking out the camera with my MIOPS trigger on it. Try to capture some of the amateur stuff in the neighborhood. Good luck Misty.
 
Same here - all week long firecrackers, some extremely loud and unhappy dogs. Not to mention wildlife being freaked out. I love the professional shows a lot but kids and other idiots setting off rockets and cherry bombs fa week is just NOT RIGHT. Eli and Meadow are very unhappy. Juno seems better able to tolerate it.
 
Pico tolerates it very well, almost as well as Gavin. But my childhood sheltie would shake so badly in his crate the crate would shake!
I say this as Pico is sleeping at my feet as the fireworks are going off!

luckily this year it was just last night and tonite.
but no way we would go camping during this!
 
Deacon is not fizzed at all, but then nothing really fizzes him ever... he is just a happy pupper. Brodie on the other hand did not like our storms which proceeded fireworks. When stuff settled down a bit from the storm, I opened the curtains so we could see the rain. Brodie had calmed a bit by then, but suddenly someone started shooting off fireworks and he could not only hear them, he could see them and really started gong bonkers. Poor boy! I hope tonight is quiet... I feel so bad for him this time of year. Apparently those storms we had brought in a super cell - docks are all over the place up at the lake and they are encouraging folks to avoid he Brookfield area... heard Torrington got nailed too.
