I have a couple of yorkies that are terrified of fireworks. Even thought we live way out in the country we can still hear fireworks from our neighbors house. My poor babies start trembling when they hear them. These same babies are terrified of thunder too so I think they associate the fireworks with a thunder storm. It would probably be best to leave them home.
Just as a general precaution, any of you that have dogs outside while you are setting off fireworks be very careful. A couple of years ago my daughter and her family were setting off fireworks in their front yard and the boys lit a bottle rocket and stepped back. Their big dog ran up and grabbed the bottle rocket and it went off in his mouth. The dog lived but he was really sick for awhile and it took a long time for his mouth to heal. |
