FIREWORKS!!! argh!! Anyone else struggling with their animals tonight?

[Guest foxyjo.]

I am trying to type this from beneath the furry and very large arse of my GSD - the most gun shy dog in the world, who's sole mission this evening is to try and get inside my jumper with me!!!

 

In a bit I have to take on my shift at the yard to stay with the horses...

 

Anyone else cursing fireworks tonight?

Yes f*****g hate them, if people want to watch them they can go out in the middle of nowhere to the top of a hill and set them off and f*****g watch them instead of inflicting it on us unwilling pet owners who have to put up with it on our doorsteps I threatened someone with pysical violence last year if they didnt stop setting them off luckily they did and I got peace for the rest of the night after that, this year Ive dosed all the wee dogs with a homepathic remedy, dont know if it will work or not? but I cant go through that again last year was a nightmare, I never had any bother until I started keeping terriers, its them that bothers the most with it, the lurchers you never hear a peep but the terriers start and its hard to get them calmed down again once they get going

Yes I hate them they should be banned except for public displays like organized by councils and stuff.

Glad I'm not the only scrooge out there!!!

 

A couple of years ago when I was living at a hunt kennels, some twats down the lane had a firework party, without even informing us. I was home alone, with 30 odd couple of hounds, numerous terriers, my own dogs and 7 horses...needless to say, when the cavalry got back, my first mission was to get donw the lane and tell the ignorant sods exactly what I thought of them.

 

Foxcub's pony had literally climbed the wall in her stable and bashed a leg, the terriers were doing their nut and the horses were running round their stables, banging against the walls etc...I'm pretty slow to temper normally, but my god, that night my head nearly blew off!

 

I agree...organised fireworks should be enough. AT least you know when they're coming and can prepare.

f*****g hate them,and the wee arseholes who throw them arounf the streets.

Well that homeopathic stuff is SHIT complete f*****g waste of money just had to bring the 2 worst terriers indoors and crate them as the barking started as soon as they let the first ones off. The dog is territorial as anything and never been in the house since a pup, he pished and shat as soon as I put him in the f*****g thing, no more noise since then though so it must have been those 2 who were setting the others off

 

Think about it this way, if I was to decide one day a year to stand and fire a gun into the air and make loads of noise when my neighbours kids are out in the garden, I bet they would be dialling the first of 3 9's before I had even cracked off the first shot, but because its "bonfire night" its ok?

 

I canny go and batter anybody either cos its an organised display
