Got To Say Bye bye to My babies

Just for a few days, but its going to be horrible and seem like a lifetime.
Kyiro is a jibbering wreck with the fireworks. I have had scared dogs before but nothing like Kyiro.
The greyhound rescue where I got Lily from do a boarding service too. I have got to know them there quite well and the place is known as the holiday Hilton for dogs as they get so much care and attention and treats and fun laid on. They are in the middle of nowhere and have no fireworks go off round there at all so as I know from experience here next Fri, Sat and Sun will more than likely see fireworks almost constant at times, and for at least 19 out of 24hrs each day there will be some go off.
I can't subject Kyiro to that fear anymore last night was awful with him and even 3 hours after they stopped I had to drag him trembling and crying into the garden for a wee.
Lily doesn't seem bothered but will go to the kennels with Kyiro to give him moral support as he is such a worrier.
Below is thier itineray for Friday to monday as written by Jeff who is top kennel man. He wrote it through one of their regular staying dogs eyes.

Sorry to hear your baby has problems with fireworks..Ruby does too, no matter how loud we have the tv she still shakes like a leaf.

Question.....do they take humans there? It sounds fab xxx

It will be tough for you Bev and I know that you will miss them but it is the best thing for them for a couple of days. Bloomin' fireworks

Unfortunatly not and no other breed of dog either, its dedicated to giving greyhounds a special time and finding them special homes when they retire. They have lovely big grassy paddocks to run and play in and the indoor kennel area is steam cleaned daily and is immaculate.
I know they will have a great time and looking on the positive side perhaps I can watch and enjoy the fireworks for those few days instead of dreading them.

It sounds like a lovely place I bet you will miss them though

Awww Bev of course you will miss them. But I think Kyiro will really thank you for your thoughtful holiday.

I really wish they would make fireworks display only and for one night only and the public could not get their hands on the bloomin things.

Poor Ollie hated them too.

Sounds like a good solution for all of you, you can get complete rest at the same time!

That really sounds like a fab place!! I'm so worried about my mums mastiff and how he will handle the fireworks, he is such a scaredy cat, even if you say boo he runs and hides!! my dog on the other hand doesn't seem to mind, i think shes used to the noise with my clan lol!

Bev, that is a wonderful solution to the problem, we all know you'll miss them the minute they leave you, but it does sound like a wonderful place and had a smile reading that daily diary (Not quite sure what 'roo' means and even less sure if I should ask on a public forum )

We don't have any fireworks next week of course but we do have them on New Years Eve and another day around July time, the rearest are about 3 miles away but Bara still gets frightened, and it's one of the few times she'll be pawing the door to come inside. Rianna is like your Lily, she isn't that bothered so long as we are around, I don't know how she would react if we weren't here 'tho.

Sounds like a great solution and you can concentrate on getting the rest you need too
