Ringing in the new year!

New year, new adventures, new problems.  :-)

Last night at 11:48 the neighbors started shooting off fireworks and probably a few were gun shots as well.  Onyx has never been a dog who fears storms, fireworks, etc....  One time this summer a few gun shots went off and she was on my bed shaking like i have never seen before!  Fast forward to last night.  The first round went off and she started pacing.  Second round and she was in our room, on our bed, on top of us.  75 pounds of labrador squishing me.  She was scared.  Shaking so hard the bed was moving.  Panting so fast I thought she might pass out.  When the gun shots started she was off the bed and started pacing around the house and then ended up in our closet.  She has never gone in our closet.  This dog was scared.  We felt so bad for her.  I brought her bed in our room and managed to get her calmed down.  When she finally took the deep breathe and then sighed I knew it was over for the night.  30 minutes of torture for her.  So I'm happy to say Onyx will now be partying hard on the 4th of July and New Years Eve.  She's getting drugs.  Happy drugs so she doesn't have to go though that again.
