Following a brief conversation in the Kazan match thread, my dog is four years old and this is the first year he's been bothered by the fireworks. He's been driving us mad with his running about, scratching at doors, howling, barking, etc. However, we've had a new development...
At night, he stays in the kitchen. There is a child gate on the kitchen door (for the kids but doubles up as a dog guard too). He's never been able to get over this gate, that is until three or four nights ago when the fireworks started. He really struggle to get over the gate so in a attempt to discourage him, we simply closed the kitchen door meaning he had no where to go by climbing the gate. Did this stop him? Did it buggery. Tonight he attempted to climb said gate and he's managed to tear his claw (the one partly up his front leg) out his right front leg. ****ing blood everywhere FFS
Fireworks should be ****ing banned. Why spend £200+ on fireworks that last a few minutes when you could take your kids for a full day out and have change from that money?
Problem solved
