  1. A fact that has become so apparent today is that some people are FAR FAR more evil than can be imagined, and sometimes, in the midst of even tragedy, we will find those who are far better and wonderful humans in unexpected places too.
    So sorry for poor Ivy…I think the smarter animals are most disturbed by fireworks. Our wonderful dog, so smart and “knowing”, would shake like a leaf in a hailstorm, while our dim-witted dog laid and slept…ha…one of us would have to sit with our arm around the smart one and talk to her during those hours of “fun” for some. My friend in another part of the state that allows fireworks, said she had to go out today and saw a whole herd of dogs running along the road and one person in a car was trying to get at least one of them to come to the car. No one just lets dogs run in that town…so these had to have escaped in their terror. And it is the desert so there is not abundant water to drink in the high heat now either. Our town outlawed such…but still there was plenty going off (must have gone elsewhere to buy them). Tiresome…and has nothing to do with being patriotic. Frankly. Hope Ivy recovers.

  2. I don’t think people who do fireworks illegally in their neighborhoods realize they damage they do to pets and veterans who live with PTSD.
    It made my dogs shake and tremble and their stomachs are all upset today from fear of going outside. I am glad it’s over for them.

  3. My cat Sophie hides deep in my closet at loud noises. I live near several small cities so we get fireworks for several days. But last night was a first, after I went to bed around midnight, there were fireworks going off in the alley right behind me. The camera couldnt reach that far but the spotlight came on. I didnt see Sophie until this morning. There will be more tonight.

  4. The Missing sounds good. I will have to ck it out tonight. Netflix seems to have a lot of movies filmed in other countries. I just watched one filmed in Amsterdam.

    Fireworks here in the neighborhood started at 6 pm when we were out feeding the horse and it scared the dog and he ran off. The horse was bucking. They continued til 3:30 am! Our one cat was petrified and another dog was scared and kept going off to hide in the hallway. My daughter dosed them all several times with CBD. Just how they’ve had their fun and it’s over for awhile.

  5. My daughter when she was young wanted a cat for her birthday and she got Minnie . I never saw a cat who loved fireworks the minute they started she ran to the window so we took her outside so she could see better . She was like that with firetrucks sirens too .But she passed away and Shawna was devastated . It took her a long time to heal and then one day she met a dog who needed her and she brought him home he was a rescue dog . She called him Jackson .Since she couldn’t have kids he was her baby . She would take him for walks in his stroller. Now Jackson is 17 years old and has heart problems but still goes strong . I love how Ivy is protected she’s watching you when you don’t see her . Abi and Charlie are happy .But its the memories that keeps us smiling .You take care Brenda .

  6. It’s so sweet, and sad, how Ivy is demonstrating her need for comfort, and showing comfort for you, as you both grieve.
    You are so present in the thoughts and prayers of so many as you go through day by day.

  7. Buddy was the same way with the fireworks. Even with giving him his doggie valium he hid most of the night under the bed or on my lap. He is glad they are over today too.

    1. My Buddy was the same, he paces, kept jumping up and peeking out the window.
      Finally settled, snuggled next to me.
      He’s my mini panther.
