I took my Weimeraner for a walk about 5pm last night after work, around the local country park. He's not really bothered by fireworks; If it's a bang he'll possibly bark back and will run towards rockets in the distance but shows no real sign of problems with them. I try and get him out before they really get going at this time of year anyway and thought I'd be OK at that time.
So halfway around, we're passing the rear gardens of some houses and there's obviously a bonfire in one of them. A couple of small fireworks go off an he just watches and continues his normal mooching around. Then a big rocket launches and he freezes. It goes pop and he flinches. There's a slight pause and he bolts accross the field. All I can see is his LED collar disapearing (he's quick). So I'm stood there thinking "Ohh st" when the LED's come back into sight and back he trots. He's only brought me the (still smoking) rocket!

I guess both not being bothered by the bangs and fetching stuff that falls from the sky is just in his gundog genes.

I'd need to get on to NASA if I was hoping to wear him out that way.
