Well I have experienced the whole gamut of emotions in my dogs. I had a toy poodle who would literally be sick to the point of vomiting after a night of fireworks (hope they don't have them at the RB) to my present Bella who just runs from window to window to see where the noise is coming from. I would certainly leave Ripley at home as he just barks every time he hears one being set off. He is my fearless one and totally in charge of himself and his surroundings. LOL!
