🎆Bonfire night🎇
Usually by now I would have been putting lots of advice on this page for firework desensitisation in the run up to bonfire night and I'd have a full list of all local displays.
The people pleaser in me wants to apologise for this but the simple truth is I miss my friend. I miss her so much that some days it physically hurts.
I just don't have the bandwidth at the moment for anything above my 'normal job'.
York people, I did notice that mumbler have a pretty comprehensive list of all of the local displays but of course it's the people letting them off in their gardens that is mostly problematic.
My advice for this whole weekend is and always has been walk, feed and toilet your dog slightly earlier than usual so that you can bunker down with windows and curtains fully shut and have TV/music on loud to try to mask noises. Music with a beat is the best. 🐶
Bring cats in!! 🐱
Where possible bring small animals inside if they usually live outside. 🐰🐹
