In a perfect world we wouldn't have needed to play with toy bombs at all but it's been a rough year. I wish there had been a better place to do it from the dog's perspective. It sucks being a dog no matter how nice your people are.
I'm not beating myself up over it because we were one of many, many neighbours making our poor next-door-dog's life a living hell, but I am passing along what their person told me as calmly and objectively as they were able to.
There are also thunder blankets and other non-med things that help, but I'm not responsible enough to take care of a dog so I don't know all the details.

yeah, i have a dog too and he hates fireworks. when i say "in the sticks" i mean miles from any building. still probably spooks some deer and opossums but i'm less worried about nature than domesticated animals that can't survive without humans.
