Thanks for posting this Susan, I have a 4 year old ylf that is totally freaked out by fire works.
She is also scared of thunder, in the field or duck blind she has no fear of guns.
She will be in the bedroom watching a Phil Robertson duck hunting DVD.
Please be careful with your dogs and other animals.
this reminded me.... when our dogs start to get older, they don't hear things the same way, so they could be fine for years, and then really startle and take off... don't just assume that if they were fine last year, they will be this year.
Michigan's new law regarding fireworks put into place last year has really increased the noise factor in my city. I hate it!
Sounded like M80s going off last night at 12:30PM for about 20 minutes.
My golden hates it like the dickens. She starts getting really anxious and wants to be close to me. She has been exposed to shots long ago and hunted with me for about 3 years.
My lab pricks up her ears and thinks "that's interesting...I'll just not pay any more attention 'cause there's no birds to get". LOL ;-)
