Our little Chihuahua Dachshund mix, like every other dog we have ever lived with, is terrified by the sounds of loud explosions and she spends the few days around July 4th in extreme discomfort. In these evenings, we keep her in the bedroom with us with the air conditioner running and a white noise program playing on the computer, and we gently stroke her while the shivers under the blankets on our bed. Millions of dogs and cats are not so lucky to receive this level of comfort, and thousands of them are so terrified that they will dash out of the house into harm's way. Please do what you can to keep the animals in your home safe and comfortable, and consider limiting your use of fireworks.
