See below, and please don't take your dog to an event where there will be fireworks, as many people do.

ATTENTION all dog owners

Please Please Please bring your dogs inside during the 4th of July ireworks. Every year we have reports of dogs jumping fences, running off, being terrified because of fireworks.

Last year a dog I pet sit for jumped the fence, got hit by a car, thankfully was found by a neighbor, needed $$$$ surgery but DID recover.

All of this would have been avoidable, if the dog had been left inside. Play music, put the TV on loud, use a Thundershirt http://www.thundershirt.com/, whatever it takes to spare your dog and you the trauma of fireworks!

If you are out of town and need a pet sitter to care for your pets on the 4th weekend, call someone. There are plenty of pet sitters in our own neighborhood.

Have a safe and fun 4th! No emergencies, please! ;-)
