Snap, Crackle, Pop

I have loved fireworks displays since I was a kid. The first celebration I can remember going to was a 4th of July party at the local mall. I was 5. And even though the noise scared me, I camped out in the back seat of our car and was mesmerized by all the sparkly, exploding colors. Years later, I still enjoy a good fireworks show (and I’m able to watch without cowering in a car!).

My dog, however, does not. Our neighbors have already been shooting off fireworks and bottle rockets in the streets, even though we’re still a few days away from Independence Day. As soon as the fireworks stand opened down the street, the nights are full of crackling sparklers, and the streets are full of exploded trash. And Freckles is huddled in my room.

As the 4th approaches, the fireworks are only going to get louder, longer and more frequent. So for those of you who must endure it with me, here are some sites with tips on how to keep your dog calmer and safer during those loud celebrations:
