My poor puppy...

aweilba · July 2011

Aw, my poor puppy is terrified of the fireworks! I feel so bad for him! He's currently curled up on my lap (keep in mind that he's a Pit Bull, so typing is a task right now), trying to sleep. Every time a new boom goes off, he gets scared.

He was abused before DH and I adopted him, and he's very scared around loud noises like thunder. We were worried that he'd be scared of the fireworks, but it makes me feel so terrible seeing him so scared!

I totally understand! We were laying in bed last night when our dog started freaking out - apparently he could hear the local fireworks and we couldn't - he also hates all loud noises (was tortured with bottle rockets as a puppy)

Aww..I hope that he calms down! It will be over soon.

I'm sorry it's so hard when our animals are upset cause theres not a whole lot you can do to calm them down

Ru's been barking at the fireworks all night too. Hopefully Zeke can find a place to relax at and not be too scared. I'm sure you've tried this but you could get him a new bone or stuffy to distract him and then put him in the quietest room in your house with a tv on or some white noise.

I bet he is super glad to have your lap to cuddle up in.

My mom's dog doesn't like them either. He gets all stressed, and runs around with his tail under his belly. He likes hiding in the bathroom that's in the basement in the bathtub.

Oh my gosh! There are such sick people in this world. We're not too sure why Zeke is scared of loud noises, but know he was abused as a puppy. He runs away when he sees a hammer, which makes me cry because there's obviously some history there. I just cannot believe how cruel people can be to animals for no good reason. It makes me sick.

Zeke finally calmed down, but tonight are the local fireworks, not our neighbors, so we'll see how it goes.

That's so sad!! We had a really terrible thunderstorm one night last week and both of our kittens woke us up meowing. They were freaking out!
