if a dog isn’t bothered by it what’s the problem?
I’d rather fireworks be opt-in by way of traveling to a fireworks show than being forced to endure most of my neighbors setting off explosives for no good fucking reason
my dog wants to know why youre gatekeeping one of his favorite events
*The number of firework events that irritates dogs, is too damn high
There, fixed it for you.
Oh I’m sure it irritates other animals too and some people.
One thing I despise is how many fireworks events there are for events supposedly for veterans. Do you really think the best way to show your appreciation is by making a bunch of loud explosions?
Gotta commemorate all the brown people they killed for oil
I would blame the system tbh.
I could still hear fireworks going off at 2am last night. At that point, you’re just a shitty, thoughtless person or group of people.
A lady i met said: Fireworks are a Circus, but for stupid people. And I had a really good laugh. They are neat when you first see them as a kid, but they have no replay value to me.
I feel like a miserable grumpy person because when I see fireworks now all I can think of is the environment and the fire risk.
I feel that, but also my entire rest of my family are migraine sufferers and 2/3 of our dogs go scared and crazy when they go off, July is one of the worst times in our family. I wish people could constrain it to just the 4th instead of like June 30-july 14th
Yeah. Environment, forest fires, and all the animals that can hear better than us being petrified by the noise. Drone light shows are way better.
My dogs don’t even react to fireworks. 🤷♂️
Same. But if i put on the headlamp i use when cutting claws, i might aswell have tried to kill her family in front of her.
And God forbid I gently blow on my dogs face. This is akin to waterboarding for him. But he will happily stick his head out of a car window at full speed.
I don’t always understand why dogs are the way they are, but I sure am happy that they are.
Yeah, the kitty who is on Prozac, didn’t care about fireworks at all. The kitty who has normal kidney function has needed so many cuddles today.
My dog loves fireworks for some dumb reason.
To the point where I think if he could he’d run to find where they are coming from and try to bite them.
Dogs are the best. Who fucking knows what they are thinking. A friend of mine has a dog who isn’t really food driven, but do you know what he fucking loves? Raw baby spinach leaves. Ohhh boy, if you open a bag of spinach in front of that dog, you best be giving some to him. Funny little creatures they are. All of them with their own quirks. But all of them the best.
We discovered how much my last tux cat loved watermelon when we cut one in half, got distracted by I don’t know it’s not important, came back in half an hour and she was standing in the watermelon devouring it. She had eaten half while my back was turned. I’m not even sure I can eat that much watermelon that fast, it was a big melon and she went down to the green. I stop at the white. We made sure to buy her a new melon every week while they were in season, but we kept her to much more reasonable portions.
