We had families who sneaked fireworks into the park and shot them off when the night got really dark, and my greyhounds were so frightened by the noise that they stood stock still staring at me and shaking until after the fireworks had ended.

They are fine now!
DeleteYour poor babies. Why are people so stupid??? Wonder what they would have thought had they started a fire.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good week.
Thanks Sue! There's no accounting for why people do these things!
DeleteWe're pretty lucky! Our basement really muffles the sound and it's finished, so the dogs can all hang out down there in comfort. Bunny decided to sleep down there with Küster on Thursday night, which is our big fireworks night, but our town is pretty small and quiet. The rest of the weekend we didn't hear more than one or two others go off and the dogs had a pretty quiet, relaxing weekend.
ReplyDeleteI've never lived in a place that had basements, so I can't imagine the quiet you described. I'm amazed that Bunny went to the basement without you!
DeleteIt was really, really loud here. We had fireworks on all sides of us. We are lucky because our dogs are not really scared of them.
ReplyDeleteThe two of mine are not as afraid of the noises as previous hounds I have had, but it is uncomfortable enough!
DeleteI am really luck that my own personal dogs aren't afraid of fireworks. However, we have a houseguest who is. It makes me sad to see them so scared.
ReplyDeleteFear is an uncomfortable thing, isn't it?
DeleteDoesn't it make you wonder how people can be so ignorant of fire restrictions and the well being of others to light off fireworks anyway? Glad everyone was able to cope, though I'm sure it wasn't pleasant for the pooches. I slept with earplugs myself on the 4th, because the popping goes on through the wee hours.
