Remember, Remember, the fifth of November.
Only a couple of days to go until Guy Fawkes Night. I was never a fan of fireworks when I was a child. Boys throwing bangers and big explosive noises frightened me half to death when I was little. As I grew up, I became used to it and enjoyed the atmosphere of a firework party...
That is until I got a dog. You can't explain all the noise to a dog, and I wonder what is going through their little minds (other than sheer panic). It is horrible to see a beloved pet in such a state of terror and nowadays I would not dream of going out and leaving my dog alone.
Instead, we cuddle up on the sofa together, whilst I read a book and stroke his lovely furry soft ears which seems to calm him. Do you have a scared pet? What do you do to reassure them?
Now, all I need to do is to decide which book I am going to read and here are some of the contenders. What are you planning on reading next?
