How are your pets coping tonight?

We're the reverse of that and the Weimaraners just think the fires cosy!
Next door's dog barks at other dogs, at the postie, at anyone in the garden, when washing up, when emptying cupboards, when the TV is on louder than usual, when the bins are being emptied...
Thunder? Nothing

My Louis (Lab) passed last year but he was fine with them. Running to the back door, tail wagging. Once he was out he was chasing them around the garden, well trying too anyway. The cats we have however, were initially startled but were fine. Got into a debate with a new puppy owner on face book. She was fuming over them, saying how her pup was terrified. I told her, take it for a walk and when one goes off, reassure it, give it a treat and a good boy/girl speech. it was a labrador. Gun dog. She wouldn't accept any help, just telling everyone how bad they are and inconsiderate.

Ours are all mostly ok, the dog isn’t a fan but nowhere near as bad as some. I don’t mind Guy Fawkes/NYE when you know it’s coming but some selfish **** set one off over summer while our dog was in the front garden and he bolted. It took two hours to find him a few streets over. 
Anything could have happened.

Same here
Cats are fine, but the fish are ****ing themselves 
They should be banned/restricted to organised displays.
Sadly its the idiots who ruin it for everyone as always, I don't mind fireworks, however I do mind being woken up in the early hours every single ****ing night for a month.

Don't use Spaniels name in vain!Just another conspiracy pushed by the globalists and woke activist spaniels.
They are proper dogs, unlike these mongrel furrbaby cuddle items owned by Karen NIMBYs.
I think some breeds are more susceptible to fearing loud sounds. Ours isn't bothered by them in the slightest thankfully - can even take him out in the garden when they're going off.
Our neighbours have an old greyhound/whippet and he's terrified of loud noises.
This is what annoys me about people when they use the "you're being inconsiderate" line for things.
Why am I being inconsiderate to you when I am doing what I am doing... Aren't you being inconsiderate to me when you are asking me to not to do what I want to do?
And therein lies another issue.... The constant humanisation of animals and, even more so, pets.
So many comments I read with "my wee girl is shaking here" or "my little boy is doing so well on his walk"
It's a dog... It's not a "wee girl" or "little man", it's a dog.
A pub/restaurant I know of even has a doggy menu and a doggy sweet menu so the owners can have a meal with their dog FFS
It's the same thing, and a particular tactic of the militant vegans to try and emotionally blackmail meat eaters, with humanising farm and wild animals - "baby sheep" or "baby cows"... No, it's a lamb and a calf.
