     Called the gardai: “Yeah we can see it on the cameras … it’s Halloween”

     Me: “So fireworks are legal on Halloween”

     Garda: “No they’re not”

     Oh, well, thank fuck we cleared that up then.

     @aral It's most likely for Diwali. (Yes, I had a dog who had severe storm and fireworks anxiety, so I feel your pain.)

     @Fizzle_Up Already done (music + white noise) :) I finally looked at him and said “look, they’re thoughtless cunts but the worst of it is over” and it must’ve been my tone of voice because he laid down right afterwards and seems to be calmer now. 🤞

     @aral Poor wee thing. Can you turn the TV or radio up to drown out the noise a bit. We used to have to do that with our dogs on Halloween & just give them cuddles & treats. Tried of those calming sprays for them but they weren't very effective.

     Luckily my current cat is old & deaf so she can't hear it all. Seems like everyone around us is letting off fireworks tonight.

     @Tiempo Doubt it, our dog doesn’t bark even when terrified (he’s a half husky/malamute). But yeah, most dogs do. Not to mention folks with PTSD. We have so many Ukrainian refugees in town it’s unbelievably callous.

     @aral Sorry to hear. Pet Classics on Classic FM are my go to dog relaxer. I have recordings from the last couple of years and it works a treat on my dog.

     We will have fireworks going off most nights from now until early January.

     This year Classic FM’s Pet Classics are on November 2nd 6.30 pm and November 5th 6.30 pm.
