We've typically had 3 dogs at a time. 13 of our own over the years. All but 5 who were adopted from rescues, and the others dumped or strays who had no one looking for them.
Not all of them have been storm/fireworks sensitive but roughly half have experienced the terror yours have during fireworks.
About 20 years ago, I started putting cotton balls in their ears as well as putting on their Thundershirts. During the day, before most of the fireworks start shooting off, I put on an action movie with explosions (which never bothered any of them), feed them treats, turn the sound up and keep something until fireworks stop.
It isn't 100%, but it does seem to help tamp down the fireworks terror by at least 50%.
As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas
Some experts say staff shortages might have complicated forecasters' ability to coordinate responses with local emergency management officials.
Crucial positions at the local offices of the National Weather Service were unfilled as severe rainfall inundated parts of Central Texas on Friday morning, prompting some experts to question whether staffing shortages made it harder for the forecasting agency to coordinate with local emergency managers as floodwaters rose.
Texas officials appeared to blame the Weather Service for issuing forecasts on Wednesday that underestimated how much rain was coming. But former Weather Service officials said the forecasts were as good as could be expected, given the enormous levels of rainfall and the storm's unusually abrupt escalation.
The staffing shortages suggested a separate problem, those former officials said " the loss of experienced people who would typically have helped communicate with local authorities in the hours after flash flood warnings were issued overnight.
