Del Boy. Cracking name!
Is he a cat that barks like a dog?
Del Boy is used to explosions. Remember the dolls?
Glad to hear he was ok.

[QUOTE=MyNameIsTerry;1835786]It seems like the Diwali celebrations are in full swing tonight. It's like mini Bonfire Night.

Spoke to soon, Matt, Petplan have sent us a letter about them not covering part of it. It's cost £1300 but they won't cover £375. I think they haven't counted the excesses out of that though as the vet sent us a letter too which says it's part payed.
Yeah, cats are bad for the vets. My GF has lots of trouble getting them there. One they used to have a few years back would really go at the vet. He used to ask if it was that one and mention whether he needed his special thicker gloves
At the eye specialists one dog came in and it just faced the door shaking. It wouldn't turn around for the owners. It did start to relax when another dog started sniffing around him.
Most dogs at our vets cower under the chairs. Ours sits there happy as anything. He gets a little shaky when he goes behind the reception desk and out of the treatment rooms into the back where owners can't go if they need to do something private bit he soon gets over it. Otherwise they can stick needles in his neck, thermometers up his bottom and he doesn't flinch. The vet once said they are quite brace dogs as a breed and strong for their size. They all seem to love him down there as he's friendly and never any trouble to treat. Even the practice manager came out of her office once when we took him for a walk (he was staying in hospital though but said we could visit for a bit) and said they all loved him down there.[/QUOTE
The shafters will always get something out of you, still it could've been worse.
Not had any fireworks round my way since last weekend, luckily!

Stats from the BHS..... These go to government to prove our case. Please always log your accident/incident with BHS here whatever the cause.
Since November 2010.
248 incidents reported to us.
17 horse fatalities resulting from fireworks.
85 horses injured.
This year so far:
42 incidents:
2 horses killed
20 injured.
I have nothing to add to that... Just so unnecessary.
The poor boy in the pic, was so panicked he was running crazy and this happened.
In case the image & update disappear, it shows a poor horse with what looks like a hanging weight scale with the hook stuck in his nose.

Thank you for bringing this point. Just like senior citizens, pets too find noise and the lights of firecrackers terrifying — since they have highly evolved sense of smell and sound. Their anxiety can be for short periods or long after the loud noise. Signs include panting, shaking, yawning, seeking comfort from you, hiding, peeing or pooping or even harming themselves.
If your dog’s discomfort is minor, there are things you can do at home to help them. No dog should have to live in terror due to fire crackers be it the Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Diwali or New year festivities…
A very interesting thread.
I used to love bonfire night when I was younger, even well into my thirties, but nowadays, especially in these more enlightened times, not only do I think bonfires and fireworks are a waste of time and money, a major source of both air and noise pollution, a burden on hospital A & E (ER) depts due to accidents involving bonfires and fireworks (especially when and where booze is also involved), a nightmare for animals and elderly/sensitive persons and a source of anti-social behaviour when let off at inappropriate times, it is in fact celebrating a historical attempted terrorist attack on Parliament (in which Guy Fawkes was the 'terrorist').
I know I'm often critical of whitewashing history, but in this particular instance I think it's now about time that bonfires and fireworks on 5th November should be at the very least restricted to just public displays in controlled environments, rather than 'amateurs' doing them willy-nilly in their own gardens, and even in the street, in the worst-case scenarios.
I hate fireworks, always have. My cats hate it as well, poor girlies.

We here in Aus haven’t had Cracker night for years they were banned.
I hated them as a kid and still do.All those dollars being spent on fireworks New Years Eve here this year could have been given to the people that lost homes and livelihoods in the terrible bushfires and drought.
