Well, we Scotties made it through another 4th of July with tons of fireworks going off in our neighborhood. There were lots of pops and bangs after it got dark and Wen felt sorry for us, so she gave us a mild sedative in a treat to take the edge off the disconcerting noises of the fireworks.
With the help of the TV turned up loud, we Scotties hung out in the living room until late night when most of the fireworks had ceased and it was safe for us to go outside. I suppose lots of people like to celebrate the 4th by shooting off fireworks and we dog families like to celebrate our country’s birthday too, but the loud noises can be concerning for us. At least we Scotties aren’t too upset by fireworks noise and we know that we are safe inside while they are going on at their loudest noise level. It gets really loud for a few hours each year, but as per usual, we made it through without any of us getting really nervous or hiding. Now we can enjoy the rest of the summer in peace!
