[Dailydrool] Fireworks and such

[Dale Rutz]

Hi all it's the clueless momPerson here,

We also had some luck with calming firework nerves.  It's always been a zoo here 
when there were fireworks because of Cyrus.  He was a gun shy hunting dog and 
he'd go wild, running the length of the house at full speed unless we physically 
held him down, we gave him Ace for a while but then he had a seizure and no more 
Ace.  This was the first one since Cyrus and it went ok.

This is what we did .......

I had the hounds settled on the couch with their special blankies from Auntie 
Wen and the TV on with the volume pretty high.  They were very warm and very 
sleepy.  When the fireworks went off little by little they would lift their 
heads but were ok.  When they started with a fury I sat on the couch where 
Gracie was trembling mightily and lay down with them ..... and they were ok.  No 
barking and no running around and we got them all off to sleep in our bed at 
12:30.

I should mention that the blankies and the loud TV were both Auntie Wen 
suggestions.  Auntie Wen rocks.

On another note someone said recently that bassets aren't dogs.  Obviously.  I 
am not sure what they are exactly but they might be extra terriestrials which 
have been done up (rather poorly) to look something like a dog.     Whatever 
they are they most certainly are not dogs.

More later from the ever clueless momPerson with Snoopy, LuLu and Gracie who are 
ready for their walk.  NOW.
