    I'll be locking them in their crates in the basement. I have some doggy Darvon but it doesn't help.

    Over the counter allergy med Benadryl can be used to calm frightened pets. Dosage can vary a lot because of the wide range of dog sizes but the dosage info is easily found online.

    Might work for the wife too!😁 Bob

    One of my GSD's liked the cold porcelain bathtub, behind the curtain.

    The other preferred my lap.

    Both dogs tipped the scales at 140+ lbs.

    RIP ... Leo & Vinnie

    My son's Aussie/English Shepherd would want to graft herself to you during fireworks shows but what really drove her nuts was when we were getting new shingles -- she just couldn't figure those air nailers out.

    I avoid the issue by not having pets.

    She thinks we're out hunting. Bang is a good sign. A bit surprised there's not much bird scent and definitely unhappy that there aren't any birds to retrieve. I keep getting that "I thought you were going to the range to practice your wing-shooting" look.

    That's sad, Mohawk.

    Not at all. I live in an efficiency apt. and work 60 hrs a week min. I don't have the time for a companion animal and avoid the responsibilty of pet ownership deliberately.

    My dog just doesn’t care about fireworks.

    He hears them every night from Disney World.

    I've owned several dogs over the years that hated loud noises like fireworks and gunfire. As pups most of them didn't mind the noise but when older, they just seemed to go nuts.


    Not sure why this is.
