My old collie used to be fine with fireworks till a neighbour let off fireworks that hit our bedroom windows. From then on she was terrified for the rest of her life.

My heart goes out to you & Poppy tweets. I went through years of it and it is hell as it goes on for weeks and weeks and at such random times.
If only people would just go to organised displays then it would be manageable and over in a few hours.
I guess if people have no pets or pets who aren't afraid then they don;t stop to consider their neighbours dog who is hiding behind the sofa terrified.

One of my neighbours said her dog broke their TV as she was so frightened of fireworks she tried to squeeze behind it.:(

If you dont have a thundershirt you could try putting an old tshirt on her and just trim it down or knot it above her back. It will still have the same affect of making her feel covered & protected.

Sedatives are not a good idea as they knock the dog out, but their hearing is so good they can feel even more frightened as they can hear the fireworks but can't move so well to try to escape them.

Better to try adaptil, zylkene, lavender oil in an essential oil burner, loud music/tv, heating on, making a safe den, even playing special interactive toys to distract but these need to be introduced as a "special" activity before the fireworks even start as the dog will be too frightened to touch them once the fireworks have started if they havent got previous positive associations with them.

I have no TV at the moment so I am sitting with music blaring out of my laptop to drown them out. I'm gonna have a headache by the end of the night!!

Good luck to anyone with scared animals. x

I agree tweets a t/shirt or even a well fitted dogs coat would do. The thundershirt is not much different to any dog coat/jacket but probably just feels like a snugger fit. Hope that makes sense xx

Just been to Morries for a couple of bottles of "cheap" vodka.
No vouchers from previous shop out of machine. Correct points on receipt for purchase. Gave Morries customer care a ring and lady told me they are having teething probs with vouchers, hopefully it will be sorted soon. Anyone else not had vouchers today.

I had a voucher spit out today ok......and like hampydoodums said, the points were showing on the app before I got home. I also emailed msm and they agreed to give me the cashback....thanks to hampydoodums ....probably wouldnt have emailed them if you had not suggested it.

Poppy is behind the chair I can hear her panting

I am just ignoring her and watching the tv which is on very loud I am glad supervet and the apprentice is on later :T .

I have blocked the tv stand off so she cant get behind there I don't want her going near the wires.

I have tried playing kong with her earlier but she doesn't want to know I have placed kong with her.

I will leave her tonight because I am unsure if she would snap at me if I tried put a coat on she would think I was taking her walkies

Ta.

You do know that is £40 above RRP?

Guess it's worth it with the Boost scheme.
