leebarnfield 30 Report post Posted November 6, 2011 Went along the the Oswestry Fire station event, watched from Mount Road though. Got showered with flying embers..... :wacko: Seemed a very good turn out, better weather than Friday's events. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maggie 65 Report post Posted November 7, 2011 Bad time of year for dealing with pets. Our poor dog has lived in his den under the bed for several days. Has anyone got any tips for keeping dogs (is it particularly dogs?) calm when there are wizzes and bangs going on all around? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smithy 1 Report post Posted November 7, 2011 Hi Maggie Have a look at www.thundershirt.com (it's the American site but tells you all about the product) basically its dog jacket that applies a bit of pressure, like giving the dog a cuddle. I thought it would be rubbish but my sister tried it on her dog who last year hid in the pantry, shaking for most of the firework season. This year armed with his jacket he has been walking around the house, a lot calmer. Ok he looks a bit daft but it seems to work. You can buy them from Amazon for about £30. (I'm sure the administrator fom Community Online will be able to put a link on here to the Amazon site........) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
