I love fireworks. It's a love affair going back to when I was a kid. I loved Fourth Of July more than Christmas, Halloween and all the other holidays combined. Still, we all need to be cool when it comes to doing our thing.

I don't really care about any city ban on fireworks. It's ridiculous and absolutely unenforceable.  I also don't care if you blow off fireworks every single day. None of that matters to me. The only thing that bothers me is it's effect on dogs. Most dogs really freak out when they hear fireworks. Most of us can't keep our dogs inside every minute of the day between here and say July 5th.

All us pet owners are asking for is a little consideration. Celebrate like crazy, just please keep in mind that it really bothers pets in the area. I guess this is a pretty good reason to follow the cities ban on fireworks and take your stuff out of city limits. On the 4th, us pet owners will do our best to keep the pups inside, we realize that it's hard to not get crazy on the actual day of the celebration.

A couple other notes. Please help reunite the scared pups that run off with their owners. It's the least we can all do. I would also like to mention that it would be really kind of you to respect the wishes of any veterans you have in your area. Some vets still can't bear the sounds of fireworks.

Now, go have a fantastic time!
