Dog-fear Day!

[furtech]

The 4th of July is coming up in a few days. I need to find somewhere to hide with the dogs so they are minimally traumatized. I give them ear-plugs and while this helps R0ndo (he's cool when the booms are muffled), Apache will still be a furry package of fear. She doesn't even like the little "pop" that the speakers make when the computer is turned off (something about square waves, I guess).

Any suggestions within driving range* of Los Angeles appreciated!


*Let's say that reasonable driving range is a couple of hours-- or I'd seriously consider Canada...

I remember how much Jazmine hated fireworks/gunshots. I take it the shooting-celebrating has died down considerably in your neighborhood?

Fortunately, Apache doesn't freak out, but she does sadly skulk away and hide under things. As noted in a previous post, I'm feeling particularly mother-hen-ish and want to prevent even the tiniest trauma to them. I'll probably just end up staying at home and closing all the windows and making sure the idiot neighbor-teens don't set the world on fire.
