For real... 4, count em, four gun-shy bird dogs.
I struggle most times to understand why these freaks lie about things just for the sake of lying.

How I deal with dogs and fireworks
I have a kennel full of dogs. Four bird dogs and one protection dog. I live out in the country (but not far enough) and the rednecks around me will unleash hell tonight.
In a few hours after breakfast has digested, I will swim the dogs, me in the canoe, them swimming by me. A good 45 minutes! Then I will road the dogs for about two miles. After that, chain gang and table work on retrieves. I will make them THINK! Finally, dinner time. Then each dog gets a trazadone, a frozen kong, and put into their crate. Doors closed, lights out, all sleeping next to each other.
The house will start shaking around ten. The dogs will sleep through it. They will be exhausted.
It’s sad I have to do this, but I will not risk it.

7. Mine are NOT bothered, but they can BECOME sensitive
I had a friend who moved his clay range over by his kennels. After a while even the seasoned hunting dogs started to be affected.
I take no chances
That's not the way it works, DUmpass. That is actually how you condition a dog to NOT be afraid of gunfire. idiot liars... geez

11. this year is much better than last.
the assholes at the end of my block got their hands on a couple cases of m-100's. 1/4 stick of dynamite.
they were unemployed, bored, trapped rats. they blew them night and day the whole month of june.
my hens stopped laying and my dogs lost their housebreaking.
i gave them holy hell. there was nary a boom after the 4th, and few this year.
last night was a little noisy, but not bad.
Big Mo has it even worse and is willing to lie to prove it. Neighbor obtained an entire CASE of 1/4 dynamite sticks. uh huh... try buying that stuff and see what happens.

14. my dogs are gone now but I grieve
every year remembering how they suffered through the fireworks. They would shake until you'd think their little bones would come loose. I hate fireworks!
This one is so traumatized, it "grieves" about it's long dead pets being afraid of fireworks.
Seriously man, WTH is wrong with these people?
