I Hate My New Neighbors

[elizabethann]

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.

[elizabethann]

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

[joycenalex]

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

[Alysser]

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

Smudge and I are enjoying some spirited bagpipe tunes this evening. Doesn't do much about the subsonics, but at least the fact that I'm blasting loud music is something familiar and comforting.

Love, Columbine

I must be lucky, because none of my animals mind it at all. Grant it, fireworks aren't allowed to be shot here, but even LOUD thunder storms don't freak my gang out.

It doesn't bother me so long as it's legal to shoot them off at that particular area. I mean, I totalllly understand why you'd be upset, but at the same time, the neighbors can't know that your dogs may be terrified of fireworks to stop shooting them. You know?? If you have a basement, can you put on a loud radio or something to help drown the noise?

[Twisterdog]

My dogs could care less. They might bark once at an especially loud one, but they'll get over it. They also bark once at back-firing cars, sirens, motor-cycles, etc.

My kids and husband are out in the desert right now doing fireworks. I don't go, because I am a worrier and spoil everyone's fun.

Oh I know what all of you are talking about.. My girls hide under the covers & or under the bed all night.. My dogs even freaked out.. I talked to them trying to calm them.. Thank goodness all the Biggest Badest Boom Booms are just once a year.. I dont even do Halloween for trick or treaters any longer due to the door bell ringing over & over just sets the girls into orbit..

I don't know how I'll get Layla out tonight.

As soon as the fireworks were over, it started pouring rain! So I figured the million other people who are shooting off stuff will stop, so I ran the dogs out in the pouring rain.
