I knew Zipper and Lilly would be frightened, but I never thought they would be as upset as they were on Friday night. They cried and cried for us to let them come in with us (they were gated in the kitchen/den and we were in the living room). Since both cats were asleep on the sofa and Scott and I were in there with them, we didn't think it was fair to upset them, so I was up and down comforting the dogs! Even Honey was a bit upset and usually she isn't fazed. I think it was because they were being shot right outside of our backyard. Up at the street, they wouldn't have even noticed them, probably. And on top of that, we had thunder too! Poor, scared babies. I ended up turning up the volume of the radio real high in the kitchen and I gave them each one Benadryl (the ones I got from the vet), hoping it would ease their nerves a bit and help them sleep. I think it did. actually. I did the same thing last night, since the situation was exactly the same.....thunder, fireworks, etc.
