Laci barked at the first couple big booms after that she slept right through, Im so happy they didnt seem to bother her...

From sparklers to big boomers Cookie barked the entire time!!! You'd think she'd get hoarse after a while but nope, she barked at it all from her safe little perch on the porch. I don't think she was scared of them I think she was trying to protect us from the big evil fireworks!!!

Here too! Roxie gets to deal with 2 nights in a row. There are people still lighting them off right now! She doesn't seem as bothered by it now.

My others kids used to be terrified oof fireworks and I would have to get sedatives from the vet. Alfie seams impervious to them. Last 5th Nov was his first and he seamed fine, even when somebody let a few off during the day and we were on a walk. Had some released about a month ago, I was in bed, Alfie barked a little but didnt want to rush down to check on Rosie incase she thought there was something to be afraid of. We've had quite a few storms the past few weeks and she either sleeps or carries on playing. The last one was really bad and Alfie disappeared, I found him sitting behind the curtain by the french doors watching the storm like a sideshow put on just for him.

The fireworks didn't stop until 3am this morning. Gizmo and Kandi only barked when it got really loud, but kept getting up a lot during all of it and checking the windows. We finally got to sleep after 4am. Whew...long night.

angelakc · 07-05-2009, 09:36 AM

Pixie was watching them at first lol!! My hubby got video of her watching them....it was sooo cute.... but she did not like the grand finale at all =( she climbed on my shoulder and hid her head....

My friends Pom hid in their basement and our Yorkie stayed in our arms.

Hahahaha Judy so did Izzy. She is not afraid of them but oh my she barked almost the entire evening. I finally had to shut the windows to muffle the sounds. She barked the most at those ones that sound like whistles going off.

I thought she would get hoarse too but not.

She finally stoped around 11am and slept the entire night but I'm sure she will be barking again tonight when they still go off.

My two older Tyler and Tiffany were shaking like a leaf under my bed.... but my younger ones Brody 10 months and Chloe 2 yrs were snoozing right through the fireworks. They are all so different

London01 · 07-05-2009, 09:53 AM

London too was not afraid but the loud ones did shock her sensitive little ears. I put on music inside the house to mute out the fireworks noise for her.

The fireworks show was at a park a few blocks away. I knew better than to take her over there to see them (because they are so loud).

Arzel36 · 07-05-2009, 10:04 AM

Mine did great, slepted like a log.

jdonica · 07-05-2009, 10:06 AM

It was raining here too, but I live in a mostly military neighborhood, so a little rain was no deterant! At first Harley went crazy running from door to door in the house trying to see what was going on. Then I took him out on our deck so that he could actually see them. I held him really close and after a couple of huge ones, he was perfectly fine. We had about 35 minutes of actual display fireworks but the smaller ones went on all night, they actually started Friday and I sure will continue tonight! I don't think he was scared though, I think he was in protection mode and once he knew that they were harmless, he came back inside and snuggled down for the night - in his Patriotic Pooch tee!
