| We went to the fireworks show in town last night but because Meka doesn't like loud noises, and the amount of people, decided to leave her at home. Because of the potty problems, and 2/3 of them being in our hallway, we gated off the hallway to keep her in the living room/dining room. We said a prayer for a living room in one piece when we got home and off we went.
We came home to the living room in one piece all right. However, she rammed that damn gate out of her way and had her husky butt shoved under our bed! She wouldn't come out until I called her a few times. My husband took her outside to do her business and when they came back in she stuck as close to me as she could for the rest of the night. Hopefully the gate will be up when I get home from work tonight ... lol

| Poor Meka! Our little Ghost decided she really didn't like fireworks either. At one point we had her outside and she ran and hid under some boxes on our porch. Then, as we've been able to get her to the point of going to the back door and scratching when she needs to be let out (awesome for an 11 week old!), I was just opening the door after she asked when a neighbor set off a mortar. Back into the house we went! Thankfully no accidents on that one, but I hope we don't have any regressions on the potty training. _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| Poor Meka baby! Our sibe is fine with them, in fact we brought him with us to the 4th of July fireworks show this year and he was so interested in getting attention from people that I don't think he even noticed the fireworks! Glory on the other hand is terrified of fireworks. Faith is indifferent. _________________ |

| The first time after we got her that we had a bad thunderstorm she started with the puppy zoomies when the thunder got loud. Hubby got her to curl up on the couch with him eventually and now every time we have a storm she sticks close by to one of us. Our cats aren't bothered at all by storms or anything so I never gave a thought to her being scared. I'm glad we didn't take her with us though because I don't know how she should have been out in the open with all the people around. She got spoiled with lots of cuddles last night so I think she was ok with that part of it lol. |

| I've had some bad experiences with fireworks and dogs in the past. When I was younger our family dog, Mysty, a golden retriever jumped out of our moving vehicle and ran so long and so hard that when we finally found her the pads on her feet had been torn up. She had to wear booties and a cone for a while.
Aevyn, however, doesn't care. At all. He doesn't care about fireworks, thunderstorms, the vacuum, pots falling on our kitchen floor - nothing. Acts like they aren't there at all. lol
And I have to say, I was a little disappointed, I had wanted to see him try to eat our vacuum like our other pets. |

Hubby and I did have one good fight since we've had her and when we got yelling at each other she hung her head and tried to hide. And then I felt bad..... lol. |

| Sierra stuck close to us the last 2 nights from the fireworks, odd that she was not fazed by gun fire... _________________ |

That's our Koda! During the fireworks he just propped his paws on the balcony and tried to see what was up and then laid down to snooze, and he slept through the people doing fireworks and sparks in the parking lot. All our dogs haven't had an issue with fireworks. And the vacuum.. Koda comes up to it and WANTS me to vacuum him, he especially loves it being done under his chin/on his neck, ahaha. |

| All of mine handle all sorts of noise. It's probably because there's no way around it living here. Loud noises happen almost every day. Whether I jab my scalp with a cabinet door or we're out camping with a friend and his AR-15 (amongst the rest of the arsenal), these dogs can handle the worst of noises.
Not that I really know how it happened that way. Our single Malamute, Lakota, was absolutely terrified of that stuff. It was also when our lifestyle was much more sedated. |

| I thought Frankie was fine with fireworks. We didn't have any problems last year or new years eve and he is usually fine with loud noises. I have no idea what happened yesterday. My neighbor started setting off firecrackers early in the afternoon. We were out back in the pool. Frankie freaked so bad, he wouldn't come back in the pool and was trying to figure out how to jump the fence. He was a mess the rest of the day. Bruiser is scared of everything, so I was not surprised by him. My dad stayed home with the pups so I could take my son to see the fireworks at night. My dad said the dogs were a mess. They wouldn't even take their nightly treats. I am shocked. I have never seen Frankie this way. I hope he doesn't start acting like this with thunder now. |

| When Mylo was younger noise never fazed him a bit, but in his last 2 or 3 years he had a low tolerance for fireworks,thunder and gun fire. With my poor hearing that was the only way I knew if there was a thunderstorm at night he always had to wake me, I think to let me know he was going to be hiding in the bathroom. Weird but I loved him any how . |
