If anyone has worried dogs tonight, try popping some popcorn. It's worked for us for the last three years, they get excited about the popcorn and desensitized to loud pops. Hopefully this tip will help someone else.
For folks in the US with noise sensitivities, you should be aware that this year we’ve seen an apparent record breaking amount of firework purchases in the country. I’m sure you’re hearing it already (as I have been).
You may want to be proactive with noise cancellation if you have headphones or ear plugs or something.
I have a lot of ambivalence about the very notion of patriotism in an era where governments seem to cater to the needs of faceless corporations first and foremost. I have ambivalence about the myths we Americans tell ourselves versus the reality of America in particular. I'm concerned that fireworks shows are environmental disasters that have always been hard on veterans and pets.
Hello my friend. I heard you had a rough weekend full of sky booms. I'm not too scared of them so you can stay with me until it passes. Feel free to wear your thundershirt. I think they look kinda cool.
