Went away in the camper, not sure that was the best idea as I forgot it was bonfire night, but luckily we found fairly quiet spots where there wasn't too much noise. Really don't know why we can't just have the silent fireworks. Seen far too many videos of dogs/pets getting super stressed with all the noise.

Fredstable fell asleep with his face squashed on my clean laundry. Woke up with such a silly face with his lip stuck on his teeth. Had a couple of weeks where he seemed determined to injure himself; ran into some barbed wire, punctured his side on something, then had an argument over a ball with another whippet and added more wounds to his side. They do have ridiculously thin skin.
He is certainly mellowing as he approaches his 2nd birthday, even the cat will greet him now with headbutts. -
I use a pawfit, GPS signal is pretty good, I like the app and it's a nice neat device. Their customer service is great too. Had a faulty device and as soon as I'd sent them proof of postage they sent a new one out and I got it the next day. If you decide to go for one of these I can send a discount friends referral thingy.

My loveable idiot whippet, Freddie. Far from perfect, but who is? Need to go back to basics with recall as his teenage ears have definitely gone deaf to me calling him back. He will end up in trouble one day with his bounding up to other dogs as he wants to play. So, back on lead till he learns to come back when called! Its probably my fault, had a lot on recently so training has gone out the window. Still, he is a good dog, friendly to most dogs, though seems to have taken a dislike to golden retrievers so some reason. He loves a good snooze & despite the awful puppy stage (like a velociraptor x kangaroo) he gets on well enough with the cat. So glad I have him, I'd be a mess if it wasn't for the annoying beast.

Some people have cats and dogs drinking from the same bowl...We have cat and dog winding each other up from various different hiding places. It's some sort of progress I suppose.

Funny you say that, I got him deer antler on Friday, he loves it! Between that and the paddywack he doesn't chew the sofa or us quite so much.

We tried the yelping when he bites us but that really didn't work, he just got worked up. What is working is us turning our backs on him or leaving the room, it's really started to make a differencealong with when he is not bitey he gets attention, treats and we will play.

This one is growing so fast! We have good days and bad, he can be such a little velociraptor at times, leaping at you and biting but it's getting better. After weeks of a bad belly which delayedhis second vaccinations, which resulted in us having to restart, we discovered he has an allergy/intolerance to chicken. We can finally get round to positive reinforcement with treats.
Gigi is doing well, with him when he is calm, but he gets a bashing when he gets all giddy. We will get there. -
I swear that this one is a kangaroo crossed with a velociraptor. Tuesday was horrific, but the last couple of days have been much better. I'm looking forward to not being paranoid about his puppy bones breaking and him actually responding to his name. It's slow, exhausting progress. There are even nose boop moments with Gigi.
I agree, I'm not a fan of fireworks myself, but know that it would be wishful thinking to get the masses not to use them. At least the silent kind wouldn't cause all the noise stress.
