Bombs and WW3

Well not a brilliant night here I think WW3 has come to Birmingham, Bella is not impressed tonight. In my mind I am taking it in 15 minute intervals..only good thing is if tonight stays nice then they may let the majority off tonight all in one go.

Oh dear, it's fairly noisey here too.
Pepsi however is fast asleep on the settee

Long may that continue I may join Pepsi about 11.30ish tonight.

I never realised previously how bad fireworks were for people with noise phobic dogs all of mine have always watched them through the window or ignored them. Even the cats, it is stressful

Aren't I pleased I'm not living in England tonight with all those fireworks going off! Over here we only have them to bring the New Year in and the noise only lasts for a few minutes ... but that's bad enough with the dogs rushing round the house barking.

Strangely enough its the hunting season where I live but even though there are shotguns going off every few minutes all through the night my dogs don't take any notice.

You have my deepest sympathy for this. Having owned a dog in the past whose reaction to 'fireworks' still lives on in my memory some 30 years later. I did then, unfortunately live just opposite the big field where they did the annual display.

We couldn't even CATCH HER to try to calm her down. It was a nightmare every year of the 10 years she lived there. A usually calm, friendly and sociable dog turned into a nervous wreck every November.

In those days I hadn't heard of any of this therapy stuff you could try (probly didn't exist then) but to be honest - her reaction was SO severe I doubt anything would have helped.

I'm just wondering as it turns 9pm here whether we will get any tonight. I've done what I can for Bella. She doesn't go berserk. But she does HIDE and freezes for the duration.

A thousand curses on all fireworks.

I wonder why they can't make fireworks that light the sky up but are silent?

Oh how I wish they could.

I think it's becoz they use GUNPOWDER - here you go KAZZ

I do hope you don't get berated for likening it to a World War!

They do Kazz, Bristol zoo held a bangless bonfire night,
