Happy 4th of July - Enjoy It, Because We Can’t
Two 100lb dogs on 8mg of Xanax (vet prescribed) - you think that would bring illegal fireworks relief to our household. It does not. It turns into clumsy wobbly-legged weird fear. Dante mostly doesn’t even seem affected by the meds, except for the fact that he looks constantly for trouble. Gets into the trash, pulls things off the kitchen counter, wanders aimlessly doing stupid things. At least Eli generally sits still and whines softly.
To all those people who set off illegal fireworks in Las Vegas - I hope you lose fingers. There are TONS of big fireworks displays in town. GO TO ONE OF THEM! Or even just be satisfied with the pretty safe & sane fireworks that they sell from the booths all over town. Pretty sparkly showers, colored things spinning, sparklers, colored smoke bombs. I don’t mind them at all. They’re pretty, they don’t make any noise and they don’t make our household a living hell for days. If LVMPD didn’t have to deal with all of the murders in the city, I would so call the cops on every single person in our neighborhood who thinks loud explosions are the epitome of fun. If you like the feeling of being in a war zone, feel free to enlist and experience it for real.
That said, Happy 4th of July birthday, Dante boy!

What a handsome boy!
We just got through our own ordeal with dogs and fireworks. Comforting an upset pup can sure drain the fun out of a July 4th BBQ. I don’t understand why EVERY one of our neighbours felt a need to be lighting off fireworks from dusk until 1am.
Grrrrr!
