Ours have acted like that in the past too. We spoke to the vet and they said they have to order a lot of extra sedative for the dogs because SO many people in the neighbourhood request it. Apparently it’s Xanax! Who knew dogs could take it too! Ours started pacing, panting, walking circles and climbing all over us at about 10am, we knew it was a good thing that we had it then. It kept them quite calm most of the day through the firecrackers, they did get a little antsy when I was running around getting photos, but once I settled down they did too :P

So funny how we don’t realize the things we’ll miss while we are here. If I moved back to NS now I’d probably miss the fireworks too, even though I bitch about them every single year I still look forward to it!

Tammy the pictures are beautiful, you could even frame some of them, I love them. I miss the fireworks over there a lot, I use to love them. Here they are a poor excuse for fireworks, too bad the doggies don't enjoy them though. .-= Melissa D´s last blog ..I thought I would never have to say/do this... =-.

I think we may have to sedate our dog next year, especially as he's getting older. I was worried he'd have a heart attack last night during the display from midnight until 1 a.m. He was panting like crazy and quivering. It broke my heart! .-= Alison´s last blog ..Foto Vrijdag 2.0 =-.

The tripod really does make all the difference. I just took a little stool and my gear out on the balcony and loved not having all that hassle of trying to hold the camera steady myself (which I NEVER manage to do!).

Don’t even get me started on the dogs and fireworks. I was pretty sure I was gonna cut someone by yesterday at noon time with all the firecrackers. We had to sedate our dogs, very frustrating and sad for us to see them so upset, as I’m sure you understand!

Hey awesome Renee!! I’m so chuffed for you that you got a new camera. I hope we’ll be seeing a lot of new photos from you in the new year then :D

Thank you! I went into it saying that I’d be happy if I got even just ONE that came out looking like something other than a colored splotch. So I’m pleasantly surprised! :)

Yeah we usually have a pretty good view over the neighbourhood on New Years. I’d love to some year go see the fireworks at the Erasmusbrug but I don’t think I’ll ever have the patience for those crowds!

Thanks Sonya! You really should give it a go, I quite enjoyed playing with the settings and learning a bit about how to do it.

Lovely photos, and a great view, in general! Congrats on the new equipment! I’d love to do more nighttime shots, but I definitely need a tripod before I even think halfway seriously about doing it.

I didn’t have much luck getting any good shots last night, but my attempts were a bit half-assed anyway, as they were taken from our bedroom window and interrupted by me trying to calm my poor dog who was not happy with the noise at all.
