my one dog is completely nonplussed nonaffected by the sounds of the firecrackers.
on the other hand, my other dog is a total complete basket case.
i finally put together a cardboard box for him to hole up in, since he was searching for any small cubby hole spot to hide in.
that does seem to be helping him now. i have the box right here beside my desk.
my next-door neighbors... *shakes head*
i am can't believe that they've left their old overweight (loved to death by food) geriatric dog on its last leg alone to go camping for 4 nights over this weekend. they could've gone camping next weekend for crying out loud! it wasn't like they were meeting up with friends or anything special. no. they went off alone, just the two of them. so their senior citizen dog is over there shaking, panting & barking non-stop.
yeah, i have a key to their house to check on the dog when they go away.
this time her nephew is suppose to be taking care of the house & dog, but when i went over there tonight at 10pm (when the fireworks began) their mail was still in the mailbox, which makes me think the nephew didn't bother to attend to the dog today.
if i could i'd bring their dog to our house, but i've tried that before.
he does NOT like leaving his house. at all.
so i am here... trying to comfort my own dog while listening to the lonely scared dog next door bark & bark & bark... *sigh*
