I have to say that our old and dozy cats didn't seem at all perturbed. They slept all evening on the sofa as usual.

But I could hear everyone's dogs barking, howling and hysterically screaming. (I'd say there are about twenty dogs in the immediate vicinity of our bungalow) Our window panes actually shook with each bang.

I'm sorry Dreamy was so frightened Bonzo. I've read one can get tablets from the Vet which are supposed to calm dogs down, but people we've spoken to say they're not terribly effective.

I've yet to encounter the local farmers/stable owner to discover how they fared. I expect it was a complete and total nightmare for them and their stock.

I'm just praying it doesn't all start up again this evening. Monday is the Fifth, and after that, fingers crossed, we might get some peace!
