We have 2 dogs, an eleven year old lab who at the slightest rumble of fireworks or thunder starts barking. The other is a two year old Airedale who sits in the garden watching fireworks.
So you can’t say they’ve been taught to fear fireworks or thunder.
I recall years ago, some absolutely top drawer subtle trolling on one of these threads, I'm sure he'll remember it when he sees it....
'In the future, we'll look back and wonder what was the most insane, selling incendiary devices to idiots or keeping animals in our homes'..
Was a classic.
The level of misery caused by the fireworks on here is almost as entertaining as watching them. I don't know which makes me happier.
. I don’t know which makes me happier.
Misery? Just getting on to annoying really, assume tonight will be the annual what we got left over 4hr special....
Seriously though, how many people think this way? What percentage of people having a fireworks/guy fawkes night are thinking Death To Popery! And how many catholics will be setting off fireworks? Few and lots is the answer.
Absolutely.
I was brought up on a council estate in the West of Scotland, pretty exposed to all things bigoted as you can imagine. The first time I'd ever heard of these supposed anti-catholic displays were, yes you guessed it, right here on STW.
Our Springer x Lab has been terrified of fireworks for years despite being quite happy around shotguns.
Our new addition Pomeranian is completely nonplussed by them and interestingly enough her lack of fear seems to have rubbed off to some extent on him. In previous years at the first sign of a firework he’s been behind the sofa shaking and panting & visibly diistressed but this year he has been a little more relaxed. I wouldn’t say he is ‘over’ them but we’ve not had to break out the Adaptil and Thundercoat.
