blackmagic Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Mine have not heard fireworks so I don't know how they would be. They do go with us to Jim's target shooting and normally aren't bothered by the noise. But, this year, Murphy is starting to get deaf and when walking him on our usual route he panicked at one of the gunshots. As I returned to the car he physically jumped after each shot. Once in the car, although nearer to the firing point , he was fine. The next time I took them out I went the opposite way and he was fine with the noise. After everybody has gone we feed them before returning to the B&B so they can have a walk afterwards. However, when we tried to go the first way Murphy stopped and backed away from the gate to the path. We had to go the other way. Strange that after 11 years he suddenly started reacting to the noise. Since he has less hearing I wonder if the vibration of the shot scared him as he was okay on the other walk where there was less shock wave.

merledogs Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Moaning Looks like orange face has won. What an absolute tragedy for the US and the world The US will be a laughing stock with that vile man as president. He's like a cross between the BNP and the Monster Raving Loonies.

merledogs Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) I also fear that his rhetoric on hispanics, muslims, etc will be seen as open season by some. Edited November 9, 2016 by merledogs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I am not surprised he has won, having watched some discussion on the Christian extremist websites which warned of God's wrath falling on America unless they voted for him. How anyone can think he is a shining example of Christian family values I do not know. Anyway, he doesn't get inaugurated until early next year and anything could happen before then. In fact, not all the results are in. What happens if he doesn't get the required number of seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yantan Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I'm appalled and fearful for what will happen under that orange idiot. I'll bet there will be lots of incidences of hate crimes against Muslims and others who are not seen by misogynistic, prejudiced Trump supporters to be "patriots". We saw some of that here in the wake of the Brexit vote. The only hope left is that Trumps bluff and bluster is just that and he either won't be as bad as we fear or, if he is, that more sensible Republicans will be able to hold him back.
