Suki is shaking like a leaf even as I write this. We were sitting outside when somebody started bursting firecrackers in anticipation of the US independance day. I was sitting in a chair and Suki tried to bury her head under my thigh. She started shaking as soon as the first cracker went off; the shaking changed to nervous pacing after the second cracker; by the time the third cracker went off, she was frozen with fear, with her head under my thigh.
Fatty, meanwhile, almost won the Paramveer Chakra for bravery. She was not in the least bothered by the crackers. She came up to Suki and nuzzled Suki's feet, almost like she was trying to reassure the dog that everything was ok (not that it made any difference to Suki). Fatty and Suki both came inside after that. Suki followed me upstairs where she is sitting as close to me as possible. It looks like she's going to have a very difficult 4th of July this year. I wish they made ear plugs for dogs....
