Dogs and fireworks

[Simon Meadwell]

Frank our elderly Lakeland Terrier hates them. Tonight he is lay calm in his bed . Classic FM seems to be doing the trick. The same for my sons dogs. So give it a go.

 

[irnbru]

Give them an overhead cover, helps make them feel much secure. Id rather they were banned. Why keep living in history when the rest of the world is moving forward..something balmy i agree!

this made a hell of a difference to my dog

Old Pug is fast asleep on the sofa, she is quite deaf, fifteen month old Frenchie is in his favourite position, lay in between my legs whilst I’m sat on the recliner, occasionally lifts his head when there is a loud bang but doesn’t seem too bothered, four year old Frenchie is also up on the chair with me and lay across the top of my legs snoring away.

These days with their climate change nonsense you'd think they'd ban this waste of money form of entertainment.

Have never seen the appeal to be honest....fire i like , fireworks not so much

It would be banned now if Guy Fawkes had been a slave trader or made a racist comment.BUSBY.

Way overdue being banned from all but official organised displays. There are a lot of people about that can use over the counter fireworks as part of an IED. Seems way beyond stupid to allow it and besides November the 5th? Act of terrorism? At least a religious hate crime

 

[M-J]

Our suspicions that our 17 year old cat is almost completely deaf have been confirmed tonight… not even a twitch of the ears during all the fireworks.

 

[M-J]

I do wonder how our daughters puppy is coping….

Sorry, love fireworks as do the majority of people the world over.

This wrong, the organised displays are bigger & louder which has filtered down.
Never an issue with a box of Brocks in the back garden...

...apart from setting your house alight from the uncontrolled bonfire, and the burns injuries.

But no, we mustn't upset a few dogs.

I dont think its a few dogs ...im willing to bet its also every form of wildlife there is , plus many elderly who jump every time a bang goes off. Have never seen the point . Be just aswell burning rolled up tenners.

...but they don't make for bright sparkly colours... no ooohs nor ahhhs.

 

[bigwood]

Our muttly was a bit bothered at tea time. He kept following me about until he settled in front of the tv.
This is his first fireworks since we adopted him. They don’t have bonfire night in Romania of coarse.
The Germans had fireworks at New Year including flares we kept back from exercises but I am not sure about Romania.

 

[M-J]

I’m not a fan of non professional firework displays, expensive and dangerous.

 

[Johnnygooner]

My Milo HATES fireworks....He has been like this since 4pm today, bless him.......

That is awful poor Milo. Our Megan a small old chihuahua is not bothered and only moves when there is food around. I am lucky to have such a sedate little girl

If it’s anything like my two frenchies they are trying to outdo each other as to who can snore the loudest.

 

[Reallyretired]

Meg has always gone nuts about fireworks but less so as she ages, possibly going a bit deaf (like me). Spice is still quite young but has never been bothered by fireworks, or anything else really,

totally laid back dog.

Are you really that naive?

Agreed, every living thing can be affected, not just domesticated pets or farm animals ... I listened to Jeremy Vine's radio show and someone called in to say one year a zebra foal died due to a firework, others reported they have to sedate their horses etc, how sheep, cattle etc cope I haven't a clue.

 

[Wack]

Kids like fireworks, parents like setting fire to stuff , government likes taxes = it's never going away, no point in moaning about it.

 

[pampam]

many years ago (53) i was at the local youth club(12) all us girls were in the ladies puttin lippy on , i was sat on a bench under a window,when some twit threw a banger thru the open window,seconds later pampam had a burnt knee, but the tragedy was it burnt a hole in my new black bell bottoms that id saved for weeks to buy,
i think its time to call time on fireworks
its cruel to animals, and it stinks

 

[Minxy]

Our Lily has been doing her 'jelly' impressing since 4.00 pm when they started round here, at least 3 neighbours are having firework parties and one is still going strong. Fortunately Tazzy and Minxy aren't bothered by them.

I like to watch fireworks but hate the noise, you can get 'low noise' ones now which is what they should all be, there's no need for the loud bangs.

I do agree fireworks are more visual. Our labradog doesn't actually mind fireworks but taking her to the Military Odysey re enactment at Detling in Kent some years back the blank firing of firearms from muskets to tank shells did become a bit much and she leant heavily against my leg for reassurance but otherwise fireworks are not an issue for her. They are all different.

It's just a pity that the purpose of firework night was not reenacted but with more success. Now that i could really celebrate. Especially if that bozo clown was the guy

Of course the likelihood you would also be blowing up some of your political kindered spirits as well!

 

[joe and sue]

Considering all the fuss about Air Pollution, Noise Pollution, Light Pollution, frightening dogs etc, is it not about time that fireworks were banned completely.
Why do we celebrate a failure anyway !!

 

[dash300]

Yup lets keep banning everything! As of course we all know the celebration is that the purpetrators failed.

 

[Tombola]

I Often wonder about all the wild animals or ones in fields...then birds etc
