Today, during a firework show, my dog gave me her opinion about them by practically eating half my bedroom door then defecating on my bed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that the 2 loud "firework booms" I heard were actually a guy shooting his dog on the unfinished road behind my house. FML
Today, I put out a fire. Sadly, it was on my doorstep because someone had lit a bag of dog poop. FML
Today, I was laying with my cat when someone set off a firework next to my window. Now I have stitches and a bed covered in blood. FML
Today, I was woken up by my dog scratching at my door. After a while of this, I finally got up to let her in. When I opened the door, she looked at me, threw up, and scurried away. FML
Today, I went home for lunch. Upon opening the door, I smelled something horrid. My dog had opened his cage, eaten all the dog treats, and had diarrhea all over my bed and bedroom floor. FML
Today, my roommate let his dog out. Not even five minutes later, she walked into my room and dropped a deuce. FML
Today, I came home to find my dog had learned how to open our fridge. He ate the birthday cake I was saving for a friend's surprise party, and to add insult to injury, he'd also apparently thrown the barely digested cake up all over my bed. FML
Today, my dog decided to poop while inside a revolving door. Before I could do anything, the door swung around and smeared it everywhere. My dog excels at timing. FML
Today, my dog got his head stuck in a container, panicked, and shat himself all over the living room. FML
Today, instead of waking up to soft sunlight creeping in the window or the gentle trill of birds, I was awakened by the sound of my dog vomiting all over my bed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should play classical music when fireworks are going off, it's supposed to calm animals down. Works with our cat! We put his bed in a room with classical music playing and he'll sleep straight through the fireworks instead of being sick with stress. I know it sounds crazy..

Xanax really does the trick.

Fyl, but most dogs don't like fireworks, it's often best to keep them out in a fenced in yard or kennel them. Their hearing is a lot better than ours so for a dog it's extremely loud and scary. Lesson learned for next year I guess.

They totally get scared of loud noises, it's best to take them somewhere quiet

We had that problem too. If you let your dog play with balloons sometimes he'll get used to the sound.

Dogs usually don't like fireworks, why did you leave it at home alone?

I have 3 dogs, 2 of which hate fireworks and are terrified by loud noises in general. We get some dog sedatives from our vet to give to them on noisy holidays like 4th of July and New Year. There's no ill effects and the pills wear off after about 12 hours. I highly recommend it if you have dogs that get extremely agitated by loud noises.

I recommend using the herbal "Bach's Rescue Remedy" - be sure to get the one made for animals, as the one for humans has some alcohol in it, which isn't good for animals. You just use the eyedropper it comes with (in the cap) to squirt the liquid into your animal's mouth, into the animal's food, or onto a treat for the animal (soft treats work best as biscuits don't absorb the liquid). (If you do it directly into the mouth, just pull back the dog's mouth at the cheek a bit and you'll find the gap between the teeth that you can get the dropper through. Many dogs will refuse to eat when they're frightened, so putting it in food or on a treat after they are scared won't work. You'll have the best results giving this before they get scared, but of course that isn't always possible, such as with unexpected fireworks from neighbors, especially when fireworks are illegal in your area so are more unexpected.)
