dogletsUsual transmission hijacked by human for a BOAR(1) and we doglets are too distressed and incontinent for LJing. Please remember I am an ordnairy polite, suburban, middle aged lady who likes gardening, cooking, Radio 4 and reading(2). just to further highlight how fkin incensed I am.
little_nothing has a fabulous rant about fireworks on her LJ, mine is restrained and polite in comparison. Though I may be accompanying her to shoving fireworks up japs eyes if my current upset levels do not subside.
I will never, ever see the point in fireworks. Just more media hyped shite that people sheep along to. Its in the shops, its in the papers, we must buy it, we must be slaves to it. Fkin BaaBaa thought control. Oh, but its pretty.........go take some acid and watch some fractals on your PCs, stop upsetting my dog. But its tradition.......so's burning people at the stake, but we grew/evolved out of it. Its my religion.......its a festival of light - get yourself some fairy lights and a flickering torch. Its only for one day - no, your part of an elongated sheeplike thing, its not just you, it goes on for several days and my dogs distress goes on longer. Wheres the harm.........you upset my dog, thats the fskin harm, you upset many other dogs/cats and there was no need, you weren't even going to eat them, I would be less pissed off if you killed and ate my dog (3)
And I don't agree with organised displays unless they are twenty zillion miles away from my house and my dogs, and anyone elses dogs for that matter. So go have your organised displays at sea. If anyone who loved animals could just see kAt0 so upset, seriously spooked, shitting herself (literally) her tail right under, shivering and cowering........well........
Abe and Java are doing OK - perhaps down to their older years. Java has had a ten mile run, a swim, socialising with three other dogs and a lonnnng sesh in the pub with her Personal Dogsitter and is too tired to be afraid. Abe is doing very well, except on the really groundshaking explosions or long fizzing ones. She shoots out to the loo, does her business and shoots back in. Even trying to entice kAt0 outside with the indifferent(ish) Abe and ourselves hasn't worked. kAt0 ended up having a poo-incident indoors and this has upset her even more.
And before any behaviourists write in - kAt0 was socialised to gold standard perfection - but fireworks are in an unpredictable class of their own when it comes to spooking dogs. She was handled muchly by many as a puppy but she still doesn't like randomness.

(2) I so am!
(3) Tho I would still kill you, hunt you down and dissect you, slowly, with a rusty, blunt razor blade.
And so, to bed.
