It is good to have a house in a great location. Enjoy the fireworks!

How sad that Bailie fears the firecrackers. It’s too bad she can’t relax seeing how you and Madison take them in stride.

Ha ha! Honey begs to differ. She did stage a rebellion a few years back.

YES to the increase of information. I’ve also never had an animal of my own fearful of firecrackers or thunder (although I’ve fostered a few). But it’s so much easier to be a responsible dog person with so much great information online.

Heck, just meeting people who have had similar situations with their dogs that I’ve had with mine has been a tremendous help.

The cats are lucky to have such a brave dog to reassure them. I’ve been at a dog park during hunting season when EVERY single dog reacted badly to a nearby gunshot.

Apparently dogs that don’t mind loud noises are a small minority.

What, are you saying common sense is not that common? 😉

Sounds like no one in the family will mind being at a distance from the fireworks. And you can always watch them on tv with the sound turned down. 🙂

Sorry to hear that Sam is minding fireworks more. That’s probably another great argument for not taking your dog to a display. Because dogs, like people, change over time.
