Fireworks, and dogs

[paultheblue]

Mate next year book a little cabin somewhere rural?

I thought about that but how long do you go away for?
It's not just one night

I don't remember there was as many dogs in those days but I do remember more dogs roaming loose.

Begs the question… whatever happened to white dog poo ?

Less calcium in their diets these days. Not so many local butchers, which is where many got scraps from for their dogs.

….they should be restricted to displays. Saying that, when I was a kid in the 60s we were reckless with fireworks and bonfires, presume animals suffered back then but don’t remember it being an issue.

Don’t think it was. Dogs were real dogs back in them days. Give them a bone and a tin of chappie a day and they were fine.

I'm genuinely surprised by the amount of people in here calling for things to be banned just because they don't like them.

When did we become that nation? Should make fireworks available all year round

My Smudge (a rescue dog) was terrified of aircraft - a problem since before we knew this we moved near RAF Fairford, which is where the USAF use us as aircraft carrier Great Britain. Particularly thoughtful when a B52 takes off at 5.30 on a Sunday morning.

He was also terrified of thunder, dark clouds, rain, the sound if rain, the prospect of rain and with age and experience even fluffy clouds. He was also terrified of water and rivers. A problem when I lived on a Dutch barge. Also cars and anythng else with an engine.

Fireworks? Absolutely zero problem.

We didn't ask for airplanes to stop, cars, rain or cluds to stop just because he was scared, even though this was almost daily. Anyone either a dog that gets scared for just a week and wants to ban that week needs to realise that there are more people than themselves - live and let live.

you've been putting him through 'loose women' haven't you?

can we ban kopites please?

 

[WA Toffee]

can we ban kopites please?

That's different

 

[BlueStevie35]

I don’t mind them as such but there has to be a time limit, the ones around my way were still going at 1am

 

[gonetomorrow]

We've had packs of youths throwing petrol bombs, fireworks and bricks at the fire service last night.

Why attack firemen? It's like picking a fight with the guy who comes to service your gas boiler.

 

[Littlesue]

So many fireworks tonight!! Had to turn telly up!

 

[peteblue]

Ban bangers and other yob type fireworks, only sell to organisations and businesses and only sell display ‘cakes’ etc….then everyone can have a good time and the yobs will be priced out of it……

Mine will occasionally do them still but his feed often has bone in it as a supplement. I assumed it was to do with that.
Should add I think the come out looking like any other but go white as they mature.
