I am so unbelievably MIFFED right now!!!

I've just got back from what was supposed to be a nice leisurely stroll round the town for the dogs' evening walk.  About half way round, I heard one firwork go off - Remy got a bit antsy, but nothing bad.  In the next 15 minutes, about 2 dozen have gone off, joyfully including the little screechy ones that he absolutely hates.  Remy pulls slightly normally, but before that he was walking beautifully - but every time a firework went off, he pulled a little harder.  Bearing in mind he's an 80lb dobe, you can imagine the force he was giving by the time we got home - I can feel that all the muscles in my right arm have been pulled, and my hand is killing me.  I'm just immensely glad he had his halti harness on, or I'd have had no hope.

I'm so angry now, if I hear anyone tomorrow saying about the nice fireworks they set off last night, I swear there will be a fist with their name on it!  And I'll probably miss because I'm right handed!!!

Hi, i know what you mean ,they were letting them off at 2am this morning not to impressed, and nor were my dogs. Regards debbie.

2am wouldn't have been so bad - Remy would've been indoors, not outside a mile away from home :( fortunately Opi isn't bothered by them at all, good thing too as she's even stronger than Remy!  hope your dogs are okay!

Hi nikita, yes your right it would have been terrible if i had been out walking my dogs, as my pup gos mad when she hears them it take me ages to carm her down. If i had my way i would make all fire works illegal, warm regards debbie 

same here!  I used to like them, but living with a dog that's scared of them certainly changes one's perspective!
