Gamby Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hi Collingwood I know exactly what you're talking about. Miss Annabell has had 12 drops of Valerian and is now in her crate so relaxed instead of wandering everywhere. Plus Ballarat has had a disastrous few hours with fire, Elvis and two other water bombers, wind change, rain, thunder and lightening. The thunder won't let up either. So she has both things to cope with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfsie Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Can they have fireworks when it is so dangerous fire wise? I am lucky that my dogs do not notice fire works, but I am more worried about it starting fires in all the dry areas........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Agreed, we had one large blast last night that was seismic I am sure! We have explosions all the time but this one made us jump out of our seats and look outisde! The CFA were called as it was thought it was a structural blast 2 streets away, nuh - just idiots!!!!

horus Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I called the police last night due to ongoing fireworks. The constable I spoke to said that he would send a car when available, but at the moment all cars where tied up with most attending house fires. One of those house fires was in a nearby street to me, thick black smoke had engulfed the neighbourhood a couple of hours earlier. Maybe there is a God.

Erny Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) We've been blessed with heavy rain where I am. Lightning and thunder as well ..... I hope that causes no harm. But rain, glorious rain . If there have been any fireworks around here (and normally they are quite close) I have a feeling that the weather has put a dampener on those activities because I have not seen any evidence of them. The thunder here is louder than the fireworks would have been. The lightening brighter. Nature's own New Year's celebration.

Jazindy Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Oh poor poodle. I'm glad you're set up to be able to look after him/her. No fireworks and no storm here (YET) but doesn't stop my dogs from being on the floor in the loungeroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretel Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 We had to go out for a few hours so I left the dogs in the kitchen with the radio on loudly. They seemed okay when we got home but as soon as I took them all out to the toilet there were some huge blasts that really frightened them I have a few extras here and one of them seems most upset. They are all back in the kitchen now and there are fireworks going off fairly constantly. Since they are illegal WHY are they still about so much???? Poor dogs.

Erny Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) Since they are illegal WHY are they still about so much???? Poor dogs. They are only illegal if there is no permit granted for their use. I've been playing tug and chase ball with my boy. He's a bit worried (salivating and a bit on the clingy side) but not too bad enough to not snap out of it when I instigate a game. I plan to take him out for a walk after the mainstream of fireworks over this way are done. Edited December 31, 2009 by Erny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuchulain Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Oh joy! My neighbours from up country (Vaalies for all those ex-pats lucky enough to be living in Oz!), bless them, have not only brought their vicious dogs with them to an unfenced holiday property, they have been discharging fireworks for about 10 days. Fireworks are illegal here and permits are not given to individuals. However calling the cops is a waste of a phone call! I am very lucky in that neither of the cats nor Max appear to take any notice of the noise or lights. Horus, I can but live in hope that there is a God, and that he/she is an animal lover!

arawnhaus Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 We have an awesome display of lightning atm but my dogs just don't care a bit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolving Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 We have an awesome display of lightning atm but my dogs just don't care a bit.. Same here no fireworks but some lightning. Bob has never cared about loud noises but if someone opens at gate he goes off. I was worried about how the puppy would go but all the thunder has done is wake her up for a second before she puts her head back down to sleep. She has loved the rain.

Shelby Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 They started near my house at around 8.00pm and have been going ever since. They have been letting them off every night for the last 3 weeks. My dogs luckily are not scared but I do feel for any dogs in the neighbourhood that don't like fireworks. Must be frightening for them as they are the ones that screech and also big blasts. Still going off at the moment - wish they would just blow themselves up ggrrrr Must be an awful lot of permits given out NOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I just got home from work, my pets dont care about them, i did have kaos inside, crated, but only because she is in one of her "i dont like Atlas" moods and wouldnt go out in the yard with him!

becks Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 We have the neighbours letting of a load atm - why when it isn't even 6.30pm yet. Oh the joys of a pack of dogs barking at the top of their voices at each bang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 We got through last night pretty unscathed - even though some yobbo neighbours had been letting off fireworks since the minute it got dark enough to see the pretty colours... grrr! I had the TV up loud tuned to the fireworks on Sydney Harbour, and Zeddy was more settled than normal - only popping her head up from beside the couch when the local bangs were too close for comfort. Trouble slept through it all as normal - and the foster pups were totally unfazed by it all, even when they were outside going potty... I didn't get to bed until after 1am due to the neigbours and their seemingly endless supply of fireworks... and back up again at 5:30am when the foster pups decided it was time to go outside, have breakfast, and play in the yard... *yawn*... guess who is going to be having a nanna nap on the couch later?

Henrietta Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) We had a series of massive rockets go off at about quarter to eight, quite close. Once upon a time, my girl would have basically shut down and spent most of the night pacing, clingy and even shaky. I am so pleased to say that when she heard the rockets, she ran out and barked and was quite alarmed but she recovered and spent the rest of the evening in a relaxed state. Something that I wouldn't think possible. I am quite impressed. What a great way to finish off the year Funnily enough, the neighbourhood was extremely quiet after this incident... too quiet for NYE!
