STIL IN BERLINさんのインスタグラム写真 - (STIL IN BERLINInstagram)「The first time Nico heard fireworks after arriving in Berlin five years ago was one night in the middle of summer - she got so scared, she tried to flee the apartment, scratching at the door in panic. We’ve come a long way since then, however, fireworks are still her forever nemesis. This is her last night, when she crawled under the bed because of the fire crackers outside. Unfortunately, Berliners love to start 💥 in the middle of December... Usually, I would leave Berlin well before the worst days right after Christmas, not this year. So I’ve developed a multi-levelled strategy hoping to help her cope. It’s focussing on her nutrition (sunflower seeds with loads of magnesium, treats with calming herbs, cbd oil), activity (more walks early in the day well outside the city - today I learned Waidmannslust is not far enough 🙄🧨), calming music (and felt in front of the windows), and possibilities to hide (swipe to see her fortified hut). I’m also trying to calm myself down, a couple of weeks ago the idea of her having to go through a Berlin New Years gave me a panic attack. That’s not gonna help, since dogs sense all our moods. So I’m not only baking loads, but also taking cbd oil and magnesium regularly... Fingers crossed the ban of firework sales and hard lockdown will make the New Years week less intense, but considering how many (men) take so much pride in cracking and exploding, I will prepare for the worst. Wish us luck!」12月20日 23時21分
