Another explosion echoed through the neighborhood and the leashes went taught, signaling our pace was not near fast enough to obtain safety.

Her fortress of solitude, our bedroom, was the place Daisy wanted to be and that is exactly where we retired early for the evening. 

As a note of potential interest for those who also have dogs sensitive to fireworks, we are testing Rescue Remedy as a means to calm our two shorthairs.  So, I’ll let you know my findings after the true test tomorrow…the 4th of July.
