Fireworks

Fireworks over Clock Tower (courtesy roberttphoto.com)Charley seems oblivious to fireworks. We brought Charley home in mid-December. When New Year’s came around, I was careful to watch him, in case he reacted poorly to fireworks.

Cientos did not like fireworks. He would tremble all over, lean up against me, pace. I knew he would be more comfortable in his crate, but if I didn’t crate him before the first firework, I couldn’t get him in the crate. Sometimes he heard a firework before I did, then we were in for an uncomfortable few hours.

So, I watched Charley. He didn’t react at all. Completely calm. I assume he noticed the noise, but I could detect no reaction at all. The cool part is that Lina, taking her cue from him, was pretty calm too. In the past, she would get anxious, not so much for herself, but because Cientos was anxious. Of course, we still kept the pooches inside. I don’t want them to get hit by a stray rocket.

So, pretty easy this New Year’s. Sometimes, there’s no problem to solve.
