Ventura on p deck. -

Strange, I have been on Ventura and never come across this, may be worth giving P&O a bell.

I have been reading back and see dogs and fireworks have been a topic. What I have always done with all 5 of our dogs over the years which has worked is as soon as the fireworks start, I go "Oooh, fireworks," and take them outside to admire them, with lots of positive comments, so they know they are something good and I like them. (Kept using the word fireworks so they learned it). This worked so well that in his youth my lovely late avatar Jakie would climb onto the garden table to get a better look, wagging his tail all the while. (Never was alowed to do it the rest of the year, lol). They will take their lead from you, so if you are happy they should normally be happy too. It's worked for me, and the only reaction we have now when we go outside to look is an occasional happy excited bark.

Saversue, good to see you posting, I hope you're feeling better. In answer to your question, what occurred to me is, is our mind the same as our personality or our character? Food for thought. x

I have never done this as a conscious thing, but I love fireworks, and looking back, must have done the same with Rebecca without realising, as she loves them now, gets so excited and will quite happily stand in the garden watching them with me. Jason on the other hand just isnt bothered, he would sleep right through them if he could.

Sorry to hear about your dog and you are so right about the dog thing

It's like I have said before last dog ...oh dogs are frightened of

fireworks but that is our learned behaviour we have to change our

opinions too

And I always have thought over the years that dogs know when you

are poorly they sense it so they sense our emotions too


I think the same applies to babies too ...

Sue, nice to see you posting. I hope your mindfulness course is of some benefit to you. It's one of the treatments OH has had. I put your question to him as I thought an answer from someone in a similar situation to yourself would interest you.
He said that his mind isn't who he is......it stops him from being who he was, who he wants to be and who he should be. Wow deep!

Anyway, I hope that helps and I hope you feel better soon. Take care

Totally relate to what oh is saying FC xx

I completed a mindfulness course in the summer and found it really useful (on good days, more difficult on the bad ones though!).

It took me a while to realise just how destructive my mind can be to myself - my own worst enemy!

I use the techniques to calm my mind now and it has helped tremendously. So I guess I believe my mind certainly isn't who I am.

That's an excellent answer and very succinct and has helped understand what the tutor was getting at, think I was looking at it from the wrong angle.
Please thank your DH.

Thanks to everyone else that's replied, it's so nice to feel part of a community.
