Just had to give the dogs a stress pill. These fireworks are freaking them out!

[Shell Beau]

Not my fireworks, but the whole neighborhood is lit up right now. People, you are supposed to save the best for.... wait....MIDNIGHT!!!! But, I understand the kids want to see them too!

1. All is quiet here in boonieland

thankfully.

[MorningGlow]

2. Thank goodness that's not really a New Year's tradition 'round these parts

Most likely because it's always frickin' freezing. This year--foot of snow that all fell last night. Bonus!

[Inchworm]

3. fireworks, shotguns, and rifles

I was just out there smoking. I was even hollering at the puppy for being clingy beforehand. Hec, I couldn't hear nuttin til I went out to smoke.

Cigarettes saved my puppy.

:D

4. I'm currently trying to get all my Tramadol doped dogs out one last time

before it gets any worse out there.

7. I hope they are handling it well.

That can't be making your new year very much fun. :(

[flvegan]

9. Not really, no. How you doing Thom?

[ThomCat]

10. I am doing pretty well.

Friends came over to hang out. We cooked. They drank. We played music and talked and joked.

I introduced two of my younger bi-girl friends and now they're hooking up. Young lust is so cute. :P

We toasted the new year with chocolate truffles with alcohol inside. :9

[flvegan]

11. You never introduce me to your younger bi-girlfriends. Why?

:rofl:

Glad you had a good evening, Thom.

[LeftyMom]

17. Because I would kick your ass.

:rofl:

5. That's one of the great things about adopting a deaf dog.

Fireworks have never bothered her, you can vacuum the carpet w/o waking her, she doesn't bark when she hears other dogs, the list goes on and on. She does get upset about visual incongruities, however.

[Critters2]

14. The beagle is downright weird about the vaccum. She actually comes when

I get the vaccum out, and stands right next to me while I vacuum. I think she's trying to protect me from it. Most animals run the other way. Not the beagle.

Fireworks do scare her, though. But fireworks aren't a big New Year's tradition here.

6. All quiet on the western front so far this evening.

It's only 9:00 pm, though, so who knows. Might still hear some, but I hope to god not. My furbabies don't like 'em either.

8. Not as great a display from my neighbor across the street this time.

He usually puts on an almost professional display complete with booming multicolored fireworks, like the city does. I miss his greater work tonight. He's just dicking around with a bunch of pesky little firecrackers right now. He might as well be holding a lighter in a certain strategic location and blowing hard. :(

[Whoa_Nelly]

12. Dogs have stress pills?

Doggie Downers?

Hey, Shell!

:hug: :loveya: :hi:

[Shell Beau]

13. If they make it for humans, you can bet they make it for dogs too!!

:P


:hug: :hi::loveya:

[4 t 4]

15. Can I have a stress pill, Please n/t

[Shell Beau]

16. All I have is the doggie version, but I am happy to share!

:P
