I have actually gotten to the point where I hate fireworks.I have 3 cats and 1 dog that go a little crazy.I will not leave them alone.I have a window AC on, 2 TV's and a noisy fan. Believe it or not it helps.My heart goes out to any poor animal that has to be out during this time. I'm not sure anymore if we humans are the ones with the bigger brain.
Thanks for the great story,maybe it will help turn a lightbulb on in some pet owner's head. I hope!
