I Hate My New Neighbors

They are blasting off huge fireworks (in the rain may I add). They've been doing this since 5pm. Fenway is under the bed shaking. He won't come out. I feel so bad for my little buddy. :( I don't know if he'll even come out tonight to pee & poop.

I'm just waiting until it gets dark enough for my neighbors to set off their fireworks. I've started giving all my dogs "Rescue Remedy" to help keep them calmer during the evening since the whole fireworks thing just scares them so badly. :(

Thanks. I will look into Rescue Remedy. I have a feeling this isn't the last we're going to hear from these new folks on the block. :mad:

Our neighbors do illegal fireworks, the kind that shoot through the air, without concern for which direction they aim or who's in the path. The dogs get a quick in and out during fireworks season and then to the dog park for exercise because I won't walk them in our neighborhood with people like that.

My poor pups are always so scared of fire works. I feel so bad for being 10000 miles away from them during this time. I always lock them in my room with loud music on but in GA people set off fire works days after the fourth of July is over. :rolleyes:

Prayers for all the scared puppies out there are on the way! I hope my kids are safe this Fouth of July, I'm going to call home and check on them.

The more dogs I get, the more I despise this holiday.....
Mine have calmed down a bit, but they still bark at the loud ones.
-turns TV up and heads to bed-

My two have been barking off and on all day. Some of the neighbors have put off the little crackly sounding ones. If it is still on (rain predicted) there is a display a mile from here to begin in less than a half hour. That should set Bella and Ripley off again. (Reminds self to buy ear plugs for next year....for the barking not the fireworks. :p ).

I'm as patriotic as anyone else, but I also despise this holiday. My cats hide till it's over.

Wow all of you must live close to cities are something, cause when we have our Canada day holiday we are far enough away from the fireworks that it doesn't bother any of our animals, then again they are half bomb proof as it is lol.

I hope that your doggies and cats come out soon and feel better, I can understand why it would be so scary to them, such a loud noise.

Happy Independance Day!

Sugar and Lacey have been using the kitchen floor over night for the past 3 nights. We can't get them out at all after dark with all the noise from the neighbors. The first night, Dad carried them out, but they just dashed back into the house and hid. So now he is resigned that this is how it's goning to be for a few nights. Poor pups!

The cats don't seem to mind as much.

Actually Lacey doesn't mind as long as we are in the house with her. Sugr shakes like a leaf poor thing, an dhas climbed up into Dad's recliner. Thought we were going to have to rip it to get her out one time, she got STUCK in there and really got panicky. But we worked together, spoke calmly to her and got her out. Didn't stop her from climbing in there nexxt time though.

And yup, they are out there in the rain setting them off.

I just got back from the Newton Fireworks - even in the rain, I was not alone. The fireworks don't seem to bother Miss Hoppy at all.

What a waste! Both because of the rain, and it's obviously still light out. Poor Fenway. :( You can come to Canada! Canada day is over. :)

It sounds like a war zone where I live. :rolleyes: It's been going on all evening and probably won't stop until about 2:00 am. I'm glad I turned the air conditioner on. I don't know how I'll get Layla out tonight. :(

we got new twits too. and so far, i'm not liking them.....bang bang woo hoo

Yeah, it sounds like a war zone here to. Of course having the odd pets I have, they don't even care. :rolleyes: Poor Fenway. :( I hope the poor baby comes out.
