Most dogs are. People lose their dogs more on the 4th from them running away than any other day of the year. Don't feel bad for him. In his old age he's been adopted by good owners that care about him. He's lucky in my book.

People keep saying that he's lucky to get adopted because he was so old but, really, we were lucky to find him. He's the best dog ever.

Except with very loud, sudden noises :/

Our other dog and cat can sleep through fireworks but they are used to living in a sometimes raucous household.

Shit, if I was a dog I'd be scared too. Last night some kids were launching the big loud ones, and I still jumped every time one went off.

Nut up, cupcake. So your kid was crying.. boo fucking hoo. It's probably a trait he picked up from his drama queen "father".

I've been around here long enough to know how things work. I swear if someone posted in this thread that their dad got cancer someone would post "Well he is stupid for eating all those carcinogens!". Fuck sake.

Doing it is fine.. blaming the banks because you did it is why I found your "plight" entertaining.

My dog isn't terrified.. he just barks nonstop.. as if someone is attacking his home.

My dog rarely ever barks.

That's what we get for living in unincorporated areas smack in the middle of a bunch of Indian reservations. I have to sit home and babysit my horses every year who are pretty sure it's war. I can't argue with them much. The air is so thick with smoke once the mortars are lit and the dust settles that you can't see your hand in front of your face. Rednecks, explosives, and copious amounts of alcohol. I Love 'Merica!

Too frickin hot here, good god. Went to the sand diego zoo today, it was fun but then there was too much walking and too much sun.


I don't care about typing any of this correctly cause I have a migraine the size of Texas. typotpyospo

Eh. I live in suburbia and that doesn't stop the fireworks. Despite the ban on them in my neighborhood, I might add. There are at least five fireworks stands within a couple of miles around my house. Kids have been shooting them off for a week now.
