Our poor neurotic scaredy-dog Quincy had the best fireworks experience of her nearly 14 years tonight! Since going deaf last winter, she was able to hang out with us outside as the kids did their thing and all the neighbors blew up their illegal stuff without so much as a shudder!!!! She actually laid in the yard and watched stuff in our driveway! On the other paw, poor Gracie went inside and hid under the desk.

I know how you feel!
When Mica went deaf it was the same thing.... puppies squealing crying didn't stress her out, thunder? What thunder? Are you working with Gracie on this? Has she been getting better or worse? I remember it taking several solid storm seasons before Mica could just settle down or get worked by me and be able to focus and have fun. We had a long road with that one and it did pay off. Hope it's over quickly! |

Glad Quincy had a good time!
And I feel for Gracie. Russ is a wreck come Halloween, which is when people in my area go stupid with their fireworks. For a month. It's no fun for anyone, cause it doesn't matter what I do, he's "happiest" (and still not really HAPPY by any means) if he's allowed to snuggle with me. Barring that, he's a quivering ball of dog at my feet (when he'd rather be a quivering ball of dog in my lap).

Gracie is having a pretty rough time with the fireworks this year. She hasn't gone all nutso like Quincy used to, but she certainly isn't comfy about
it.
Here is Dogpatch, the natives have been shooting stuff off since the end of May (as usual), just the concentrated bunches around the 4th has gotten her skittish. |
