I always have such mixed feelings for this night. On the first part, I want to wish everyone all the best in the coming year. On the second part, I am always hoping we make it through this night and the next few days.....I call this a night of terror when it comes to the dogs, at least for some of them. The bing, bang and boom of the fireworks always has us on edge........I can hear the neighbors cattle bawling, the horse's stomping around whinnying. The same thing every year....and I know I am not alone in the concern for the animals. No matter how many times some of them go through this it is just not something they care to get used to. One thing to hear a few gun shots......another to hear hour after hour of zinging, zipping and booming going on. May we all make it through to tomorrow to look forward to the rest of the year, or, at least until the 4th of July!! Happy and safe New Year.
