So very sorry to hear about that.

Dreading the day I lose one of my pups. Very sorry for your lose, RIP.

Even though she was brought home against my wishes, as a gift for my son, I am Leah's human. My wife doesn't like animals.

BUT, when the fireworks start, Leah runs for my wife. If we are already in bed, Leah is all over her, trying to get on the pillow on my wife's head. That is the only humorous part of her reaction to fireworks. So far, at least she doesn't lose bladder control.

Every night at 9, mortors start going off. Been like that for almost 3 weeks. Even the ones that are probably a mile away set Leah off.

Like RMTT, Leah is a 4th baby. Maybe related? (not to each other, but birth trauma is related to fireworks noise)

You can be just really good at it:

So for you experts out there...I have a question since I am a new pet owner. My wife has always had them.

Our Mini-Schnauzer Axle thinks he's superman. Doorbell rings...he's ready to attack. He's also a high strung dog.

The other night I was awoken to him all up on me trembling uncontrollable. I was like what's wrong little dude, then I faintly heard the "beep" of one of our Smoke Detectors in the house that indicates the battery is dead. So I got up and changed it.

Next morning we are sitting on the couch watching car shows at 4:00am and this commercial comes on about this "turbo transfer pump". It "beeps" when it's done. He heard the beep and headed straight to my wife in the bedroom.

So I am thinking by this time...that frequency bothers him. SO anytime later that day when I seen the commercial....I turned the channel long enough for it to pass.

But then last night....the low frequency boom of a firework went off...and he did the same thing. Just completely shutdown. My wife put him in her lap and wrapped him in a cocoon.

What's odd is that the bass of our TV system never affected him and still doesn't.

It kills me to see my little buddy like that. We have him one of those Thunder shirts" that is supposed to calm him...but haven't tried it yet.

Anyone else have that issue with a small dog? Aside from what I described...he is wide open all the time and just had his vet checkup. He turns 2 on July 4th.

Any other time.....he's fearless.

These dogs are pretty hyper as a general rule-I've had 4 of them and they love to attack other dogs and the doorbell. Maybe that beeping sound hurt his ears or reminds him of something bad from his puppyhood. I had one that didn't want me to touch his feet and I figured he must have been pulled out of his cage on a puppyfarm. They never forget these guys! Hope he gets better.

He is hyper..that's for sure. We got him from a breeder..so we have had him since he was old enough for her to let us take him. We had him picked out..but had to wait.

They don't forget anything. Smart little dogs. He has a toy basket and we can tell him to get a specific toy and he will "root" through it until he finds the one we asked for. But everything else will be thrown all over the place!

So today is Axel's 3rd birthday. I just watched my wife and him open a "birthday box" from Chewy.

Poor guy has a hat, bandanna, and other items that I'm sure he's not going to care for wearing later.

My wife did that to our poor (now late) dogs at Christmas years back. They sucked it up and dealt with it that day but ran from her when they saw her with these things the next year.

I posted in late March that we lost Bosco our beloved Jack Russell Terrier.....we still miss him. Yesterday we brought Woody home. 11 weeks old and the life of the party.

When the dog looks at you, the dog is not thinking what kind of a person you are. I love dogs much than humans.

WhiskyPat12 · 07-18-2020, 01:43 PM

Time for our afternoon nap position. Guess I'm stuck here for a bit
