How are your pets coping tonight?

Very unusual for collies. My mum had a Border Collie who used to hide and shake in the tightest of spaces. Lived on the coast and got the bangs from the start of various boating races.

Yeah one of the other dogs we know that's really scared of the fireworks is a collie, and had heard they're often bad too - think we got lucky!

He's never really been bothered by loud noises, we wonder whether it's because he lived in a barn on a working farm until we picked him up, and then the neighbours had building work going on for a few weeks after we got him home, so maybe the exposure early on got him used to loud noises. Or maybe just luck!

The only noise that makes him a bit jumpy is boy racer exhausts popping nearby if we're walking next to the road.

Our community owned pub is having a bit of a do, and Kitler (my cat) had a quick nose outside, then climbed through the cat flap, farted and fell asleep in front of the fire.
Not a lot bothers her :D
 
With all but two pf mine having been born here in the countryside they hear gunshots most days, it's the flashes in the sky that seem to get their attention more than the bangs and whizzes. Not that there have been that many fireworks around here tonight.
 
My mams dogs are an utter mess

She made them boxes filled with blankets and covered too, the dippy jack russell went into them both n relieve himself all over the place! :eek:

Our dafty cat... sat outside watching them!
 
My dogs are backwards idiots. One who's scared of cutlery clacking together can be left in the garden with fireworks going off next door and doesn't care, the other one who's scared of nothing usually cuddles up to you and doesn't want to go near the back doors, she has a thing about low tones, hates thunder and even sometimes low flying planes.

My cat didn’t care about fireworks in London. He’d come in, meow a bit and then curl up in the warmest spot in the house.

He doesn’t care for the chain lightning we get out here in the summer, but he’ll just complain a bit and go to sleep on our bed.
 
We used to hate this time of year with our dog and cat before we moved from previous town to a village.

Before, you'd have have fireworks going off randomly leading up to 5th November and in the week after.

Since moving out to our village, all we have really is the village firework display going off that last for 30 minutes and then it's relatively peaceful and quiet.
