Please remember to keep your pets safe during fireworks

a lot of animals, dogs in particular don't like fireworks so please make sure your pets are safe during the new years celebrations.

i know Foo hates fireworks so he'll be a shivering mess. i'll have the curtains closed and music turned up so it has less effect on him untill the explosions finish.

It distresses me every year to see dogs running blindly, in sheer terror, across

and along busy roads.

No fireworks in my town, thank goodness

My little winky woos (Winks) found the birdbath more interesting when it's dry.

Besides, it's caturday. Happy new year all.

I put an old ice cream container of water by the side of the road.

It's late in the day, and it's still hot, here.

Maybe someone wandering, lost, scared, will appreciate a drink.

It's a small gesture.

A few years ago, I had a much loved and very expensive sheepdog climb a 3 metre high weldmesh enclosure in fright one fireworks night. Luckily he didnt catch his foot at the top of the weldmesh, but he was missing for several days. It was a very worrying time, but eventually he came home looking much worse for wear.  It happens.

The farm dogs now live in the "Houndog Hilton." A large raised cage with mesh roof, grating for cleanliness, insulated panels for their sleeping quarters and a deck with a roof over the top to watch the world go by. This is all placed in the shade of a large tree with a view to the river.

We live in a very large, semi urban town and some nosey parker not realising the dogs ride around in the ute, chasing sheep most of the time thought it was cruel. We had a knock on the door from an RSPCA inspector. She inspected the setup and thought it was probably the best accomodation for working dogs she had ever seen.........
