    Default Do Fireworks freak out your fur kids?

    Just wondering how many are affected by this?
    My little Lola doesn't seem to be bothered by this YET, and I say yet because my older outside dog (Thunder - HuskyXWolf) now is terrified of fireworks. They never bothered him when he was younger, but now the last 2 years have seen a change in him and they now scare the pants off him. He shakes and shivers and hides in his house at the first sound of fireworks.
    Anybody's pug or other inside fur kid have this problem or does this fear just belong to the outside fur kids?

    It doesn't seem to bother Shelby at all, but Gizmo barks at everything so he barks at that too. Doesn't seem to scare him though.

    Tinker was not bothered when she was younger, we go out in the boat and watch them from the water, she used to just sleep but now she wants to bark at them.She's not afraid but I think it's the noise she's barking at. The Lost Colony is next door to us and in the summer when they put on the plays at the end they shoot off fireworks. She can't see them but when she hears them she barks.

    Has never bothered Zoey, she is now 6, and I don't think Eddie hears them, didn't seem to bother him and he is 5.

    Both our pugs don't seem to notice the fireworks at all!! 2 of our Chihuahuas are fine, one Chi isn't happy but ok and one (little Kirby) gets really upset/shaking/panting etc poor little lad.
