Well, at least the fireworks are helping us get our steps in!
Moe is NOT a fan... She’s not necessarily scared of them, but she’s certainly not happy about all those big booms going off around her family. Cue lots of running around, barking her head off and generally taking her self-appointed security duties VERY seriously. 🚨
And because we get quite a few around our place, both before and after Guy Fawkes, we’re doing what we can to make the evenings a little easier.
We’re getting out early for some longer walks when we can, or at least a good sniffy walk to burn off some energy!
I’ve also prepped some distractions for the evenings. We’ve got Kongs stuffed with a little Mighty Mix Frozen Concentrate, Mutt Butter 🥜🐾, plain yoghurt and blueberries, all popped in the freezer ready to grab. Plus a good bone to chew on!
Luckily, Moe is VERY food motivated, so having something yummy to focus on helps take her mind off what’s happening outside.
Her crate is also set up and covered, ready for her to retreat to if things get a bit much. It’s always been her happy, safe space, so will pop her away if need.
And with all the extra goodies on offer, we’ll be cutting back a little on her usual dinner of Mighty Mix Nourish bikkies to balance things out.
Personally, I wouldn’t be mad if private fireworks sales became a thing of the past.. But for now, we’ll just be doing our best to help Moe through another fireworks season.
How does your dog handle fireworks? Completely unbothered, hiding away, or on neighbourhood watch like Moe?
