A dog's brain is fully developed at 7 weeks of age...Let's face it, he is not going to get any more
brain capacity beyond that point. Rufus is as smart now as he's gonna get.
What you do with giving that DOG brain some learned behaviour from then on ...is up to you.
I start training my dogs at 49 days old...and keep on training foreverafter ... and I have never had a dog yet that shied from noise, be it hunter,
family, or lap dog. I doubt I am just lucky...but hey, I could be at that. After all, I am in Baja, right?
It's not rocket science..and how good and what you do with learned behaviour is your decision...your responsibily as an dog/animal owner. If all
fails, maybe the pooch will teach you....?
FIREWORKS!!
One of my fondest memories of fireworks was watching them from the front lawn of our lakeside cottage. My dad was out on the lake on a big raft...
full of fireworks and a couple cronies. They put on a display that was seen ..and heard...for miles. Those skyrockets went arching up, up, up into
the stratosphere I'm sure...the Oohhs and Ahhhs came with the floral starbursts and speckled carnations.
...then a wild screaming rocket would suddenly go zooming into the heavens at Mach 3......with a mighty....KA-BOOOOM! brought out the hoorays from the
yard crowd....
.....ah, it was wondrous for small boy.
I went deaf at age nine...but smiled a lot...and still do. 
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Great post. I love to see all the pet perps freek out about someone lighting a firework. It's the end of the world for some folks. Talk about someone
being kidnaped or killed and they say you are a "Chicken Little" the sky is falling, but talk of lighting a firework and you are now the antichriest.
It's not all about sunsets, cactus and fish tacos, it also includes parties, tequila, friends and letting loose.

Well I wouldnt have to "coddle and reassure" If the buttcracks would grow up and stop playing with dangerous and annoying toys!  These guys are lighting them off in the condo tower off the balconies. Think really
big echo. You would think they would get a talking to from the ......get ready for it.....HOA

Ciao ragazzi, this me, Co-Pilot, not mi know-it-all-things Pompeino.
I write for you these thoughts.
Questa è l'ultima parola.
.."word"...
Capito?
Ciao baci baci...

My beef here:
'.....I loves me skyrockets! Some dog owners do not like me. I try to announce that small explosions will be happening to whoever may be around. The
way I see it...the more loud explosions dogs are exposed to, the more they'll get used to it. "
This guy has had issues with the neighbors over the dogs in the past. He therefor understands the dog's owner concerns. Most likely witnessed the
dog's(s) discomforts. Yet...he don't give a rat's a--- about the situation.
"....Maybe I'm wrong"?
Just hoping that the majority of BN's agrees with him to justify his anti social behavior.
Pompano....I dont know who you are. You seem to be always very positive and intellect on this BNB. I seriously doubt that you are a sort of guy that
would blast rockets if you saw the neighbor's dog going crazy.
I'm going back to the card game................

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

I got a feeling that if Dennis approached you...you stick your tail in between your legs

In the interest of full disclosure, you should all be advised that there is a distinct possibility that approximately one hour after sunset on
November 11, 12 or 13, 2010, some explosions may occur in the air above La Bocana de Santo Tomas. There is also a distinct possibility of pretty
colors occurring at the same time and place. This is neither a threat nor a promise, only a warning of the possibility of a potential event which may
or may not happen.
No dogs and few if any humans other than those precipitating the potential event are predicted to be in the vicinity and if the potential event
occurs, every precaution will be taken to protect any sensitive individuals present from harm or offense. Such protective measures shall include, but
not be limited to, ear plugs or noise canceling headphones, soothing massage (not accupressure, which really hurts afterward), all the warm milk you
can drink, aromatherapy, tons of smooth jazz, a raffle ticket for the door prize which I believe is a case of bubble wrap, a free year of
psychoanalysis, and a guest spot on Dr. Phil or Oprah. If you were expecting hookers, forget it. This is a family operation.
These protective measures shall NOT be made available to any lizards, spiders, bats, starfish, mice, beetles, ground squirrels, sea urchins,
mosquitoes, rattlesnakes, cattle, army patrols, shallow-swimming fish, butterflies, sparrows, crabs, kangaroo rats, flies, breaching dolphins, seals
and/or sea lions, centipedes, vultures, frogs and/or toads, goats, mussels, census takers, tarantula hawks and their prey, rabbits, illegal aliens,
scorpions, coyotes, gophers, ants (especially red ones), quail, crayfish, sand fleas, mud hens, drunken fishermen or DOPERS who may be in or wander
into the area. They're on their own. If you fall into one of these categories and can read English, consider yourself warned, dude.
No animals or hookers were harmed in the creation of this message.
That is all.

Hey Pompano,
Does that breed point or does it retrive? Maybe you can sell her on a good ol' Italian Spinone I have a pal that breeds them...

Pompano, Had two or three Boxers. Great breed! Could not throw firecrackers near a female boxer we owned, she would actually snap them up, one of went
of in her mouth, didn't seem to have any effect, of course it was only a small firecracker, not one of those M-80's or cherry bombs.

Cypress...I like boxers as much as I like all breeds. They just don't quite fit into my style of duck blind....
... but then I don't think Co-Pilot has hunting in mind.
Her house dog in Rome was a boxer..and she misses him.
I miss my first dog, Blacky...a water spaniel.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.
