HeyRunDog Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Grace is not one of those greyhounds who follows you around or tries to grab a cuddle when you are on the sofa and often gets off if I tried to join her. She doesn't have SA (unless I forget to give her her Kong when I go out), she sleeps downstairs and so is quite independent. Fireworks though turn her into a quivering pacing mess. In anticipation of the celebrations last night (New Year's Eve) I gave her a couple of calming tablets and had plugged the diffuser in earlier in the day. Last night the fireworks started and Grace, instead of her pacing and shaking, got up on the sofa with me and put her paw out to touch my leg and apart from the very loud ones she stayed there. Best New Years Eve present ever.

Mercsmom Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 That's womderful. I'm wondering if she does have some sort of anxiety that went away with the calming tablets. Quote Momma to Jupiter.

Time4ANap Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Awesome. Good girl, Grace. Our formerly quiet neighborhood sounded like a war zone. Surprisingly, it was far enough removed from the immediate streets that the dogs only heard it when they went out for a pee break and they darted back inside. This is the first year we've had so many fireworks in our area, as we are usually the house that hosts other dogs on fireworks nights because we are in a "quiet senior neighborhood," Quote Camp Broodie.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
