Today is the big day for fireworks in the UK - Bonfire night, remembering Guy Fawkes' plan to blow up the Houses of Parliament (and of course Samhain). Time was there would be dozens of small scale affairs, with bangers going off for weeks, and there still are in some areas. Here, fortunately, more and more people go to the organised display in the village instead, which this evening started at 7pm. Poppy slept through the whole thing; Sophy started trembling at the first distant boom so as planned I took her comfiest bed into the cloakroom, turned on the fan, and settled down in there to keep her company. She spent some time in the bed, then on my lap, then, after 30 minutes or so, decided the danger was over and trotted back to the sitting room.
So it seems we have at least a partial solution - I don't know how effective it will be for louder and more persistent bangs, but am feeling relieved there is something I can do to help her.
