So, of course with last night being New Year's Eve, some folks in the neighborhood had to go and set off fireworks during the evening.
I don't usually mind the smaller firecrackers, nor do the dogs ... but someone had gotten some much larger than usual fireworks which were going off with quite the "BOOM", and Angel got startled and scared. Hobgoblin, it seemed, was a little weirded-out, but he didn't seem scared the same way Angel was. She came over and was trying to hide behind my legs, and was shivering.
So, I picked her up and was talking to her, noticed that she had some mats on her chest, and got out the grooming supplies to give her a thorough grooming. At that point, she stopped noticing the fireworks (not that there were many more going off, but there were a few).
Cure for a dog scared of fireworks? I'll have to check with Holly and Noni to see how Xara and Bailey did last night ... and if Bailey likes being groomed or not (Xara's somewhat fond of being groomed). If she's not a fan, I'll suggest they try that the next time there's fireworks being set off.
