Where's your pet hiding tonight?

Our normally aloof beagle is snuggled up on his dad's knee like a baby :suspect:

He's asleep with one eye shut and the other on the patio door so he can guard us from the fireworks

:hihi:

Our Terrier cross is not bothered about Fireworks...he ahppily chewing the hyde shoe i bought him today!

Diva the cat is in her basket under the dining table, but then when ain't she...?

my cat is following me round the house, and is currently staring at me sat on the landing :lol:

I got a rottweiler she is just a year old..And i never had such a relaxed dog in my life.She just laid on the floor sleep and she wakes up and barks when she hear a high pitch one.I even went out and buy them tablets to calm them down as in past all my dogs have been scared.I carnt belive how it not bothering her one little bit.All my other 3 dogs use to hide in the smallest corner but this one just laid hear.

My little cats r going mad bless them, i'm trying to keep them in my brothers room but theyre not having any of it n running around the house :hihi:

Fergus has stopped barking but was shaking so he's been snuggled on Draggletail's lap with his chops resting on my knee and his nose tucked behind Draggleshanks' head.

Our Guinness is asleep on top of the settee, no change there then:rolleyes: she doesnt even want to go out, normally she scratches at the door to be let out, but she has been nowhere near it today, although there are quite a lot of fireworks going off in Hillsboro' at the mo!

He's big enough to reach across all three of you? :wow:

Our dog is just sitting on a chair enjoying it all, and occasionally going to look out of the window at all the pretty lights and listen to the lovely whizzes and bangs. She's like a big kid - so I might take her for a walk later to get a better look :D

My dogs are down stairs, all I can hear is them crying (awwww) Now and then they come upstairs to see if Im still here

Anastasia is currently asleep on Zens' lap.

Buffy is off investigating the house (or sleeping in her attic)

neither of them seem very fussed

Neither of the two moggies here at Pritchard Towers appear bothered.

I think the human inhabitants are more peeved with the bangs than the cats are!

My 2 cats are swinging between pretendy not bothered and out right I am a baby and terrified :(
Most of the time as long as we are in the same room they are ok. I live near the arena so I have had the pleasure of listening into the display at the stadium....

He's surprisingly long when he stretches out :nod:
And currently unhappy. The bangs and flashes are louder. He must be desperate for a wee, but won't put his nose past the door :(

Angus isn't bothered one bit and even ventured out for a tiddle! I'm impressed as he's only 13 weeks,

Katie and Pippin the cats are happily sat on the back of the sofa as usual, they don't seem to bothered

Our big fat ginger moggy is stopping close, he's currently in a too small cardboard box next to my partner's feet :hihi:

Apart from that, he doesn't seem too bothered by the fireworks, just throwing looks of disdain at the windows when there's a particularly loud bang.

Cat 1 is under my reclining chair. Cat 2 is nowhere to be seen and we are very worried. We were sure they were both in, but we've been round all the hidey holes (under beds, sofa, in drawers, wardrobe etc) all to no avail. We have also been up and down the garden with a torch making encouraging little noises. Fortunately none of our near neighbours have fireworks, nearest are about 4 doors away so hope he's OK.

YOu know what will happen though. We will be fast asleep at 3 am and he will pounce on us! (I hope).

We had to scurry out under a big golf umbrella, so somebody couldn't see the fireworks directly above us :roll:

our cat was sleeping behind a chair

My dog was going frantic at all the bangs, as usual. (thing is, round here, they've been going off for weeks) he seems to be happiest on the sofa, with his head under the cushions! lol!

He's never liked fireworks, especially the "schwooosh"-y noises from the rockets. (he's not on his own! I can't stand the racket from fireworks either, especially at 0148 hours this morning when some kind person in this district decided to let theirs off.... grrrrr)

My dog just watches the bright lights and tries to chase them. Stupid dog. The noise and such just do not seem to bother him at all. He laid down by my feet after a frantic half hour chasing round the garden and went to sleep.

Smudge was curled up on my bed, as per usual - don't think she even noticed them, Smitch actually ventured in the house - but I think she saw it as 'I could get hit by one of those loud scary things or go in and get eaten by the dog - either way it doesn't look good'
so she came in and came in the living room while Takara was in the kitchen and then went upstairs.

Takara, she didn't notice until there were some really loud ones nearby - we live in studentopia so there were loads - and then she sat up trying to work out where they came from, then she went a bit barmy so I took her for some training in the kitchen and didn't get any done because she stood with her front paws on the kitchen worktop watching all of the pretty lights at the villas at the back of us. lol funny pup.

The fireworks went on late into the night and I was worried she wouldn't sleep if she was on her own with the noise but we didn't hear a peep out of her after 10.30pm.

We are very fortunate in that our English Bull Terrier bitch ['Tallie'] is completely indifferent to the sound of fireworks. She ignored everything, sleeping soundly in her bed by the fireside. Our previous Bull Terrier [the late 'Betsie'] was driven almost berserk by the sound of bangers, and I owned a Labrador in the 80s who would cower pitifully at the slightest whizzes and bangs. Good old Tallie, what a magnificent, lazy, adorable lump she is!

That's what my ex BF said about me............before he shut the door on his way out.............:clap:

I'ts about time they stopped them! How many more adults and kids are going to be hurt before something is done. some inconsiderate ******* was letting them off behind our house at 5 this morning - probably someone who doesn't have to get up for work during the week so doesn't get the luxury of a weekend lie in - cos that's where they are most of the time! *******s:rant:

Well we've had a little yorkie-dog blown to pieces by yobboes tying fireworks to her...

We currently have a young boy, brought, this weekend, in a bad way, to Sheffield Children's Hospital from Kettering (Northants) with severe burns, after he was hit by a firework at a display.

A few years ago, a school headmaster was killed when a firework went off as he was leaning over it, at a display.

In the Star the other day we had the stories of the rotherham women who were maimed for life, when a cretin let a firework off at them in a gennel in rotherham.

In the same article, there was the tale of a young boy who is scarred for life on his face and hands after yobs threw a firework at him.

We hear the plaintive cries of thousands of pet owners whose cats and dogs are driven to distraction by the noise, pleading for fireworks to be banned, or at least only permitted at professional diplays. We have to dope our pets up with tranquilisers for weeks at a time, to prevent them going crazy with the noise. (instead of being able to tranquilise them just for the one night and have it over and done with all at once)

We suffer noise form cretins who let fireworks off in the wee hours, for months either side of Bonfire night.

I myself narrowly missed injury when a known cretin, (who now has an asbo banning him from all buses and trams, and the city centre) let of a rocket, horizontally, at me as I strolled through Barkers Pool, a while ago.

It is time for fireworks to be stopped off, and for firework night to return to being that, firework "NIGHT", and not the two months either side.

or, if we cannot ban them altogether, then firework parties should only be permitted with a license, and a fire-service check/ attendance.

That is awful. These tw@s have no brain, no morals and no regard for anything. I would like to stick one of those mega rockets up their jacksy's and delight at their pain and suffering.
