It's good to see Americans giving a shit at least. We have been so beaten down. The dogs will be fine. Take them for a walk tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering about that, fireworks can be just as stunning without the noise. Anyway it’s one day out of the year so I don’t care, but my neighbor has been going at it for 3 days. Making sure my dogs poop on his lawn tomorrow, oops no bags lol. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife stayed with the dog in the bathroom with a fan on. She's hated it for all 6 years of her life. Thinks its WWIII happening. Just shaking and panting. The vibrations and noise crush her. Thunder doesn't bother her but the constant barrage of fireworks gets her extremely anxious, like a panic attack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Happy 4th to all! Every year we get the best fireworks right in our backyard. The town launches the bombs right over our house. Hard to beat this 20-minute display literally in the backyard... despite the dog thinking the world is ending. Back porch view. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 We are lucky in that our dog is not bothered by thunder or fireworks. She gets a lot of separation anxiety. I’m fine with fireworks for one or two nights. Get them done before 10PM or so clean up yet mess and see you again next year. So “patriotic” to be blowing up Chinese made gunpowder stuff. Lol.

Ginx snewx Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 We have a routine for the dogs with 3 totally frightened. We give them a natural calming dose then close all the windows and turn on fans and crank up the surround sound. Neighborhood was quiter than last year, probably because of no more stimulus money. Some good bangers off in the distance but pretty typical 4th. Fantastic day in Willimantic with friends pool to hot tub to pool day. Sunshine and 74 degrees felt great. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A blast to those good boys meant time to fetch a duck. Co-worker in my NNJ days had a Gordon retriever that at first was excited when Bill touched off the shotgun. Next July 4th he had friends over for a party and one lit a pack of 2" crackers and tossed it off the porch, not knowing the dog was sleeping underneath. Next time Bill took Missy up into the field and fired the gun, it was panic speed all the way home - totally wrecked the dog for hunting. My Lab mix hates thunder - was still quivering 45 minutes after the super close tree blaster near home last March. The pops and bangs this weekend didn't seem to bother her, though most were distant. Same for when someone emptied a few handgun clips Saturday in the logyard about 250 yards away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisStraight Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 One of my labs would get nervous and shake when she heard thunder or fireworks, took her awhile to calm down afterwards, my current dog just dives under the desk until it's over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
