This year was very interesting...almost no fireworks in the neighborhood. Still...two of my dogs refused to go out after dinner...totally refused. The others didn't seem to care at all. Last year it sounded like a small war here...then this year, nothing. The funny thing about the two who refused to go out, it was LONG before there'd been any bangs at all. They must have known, somehow, because there had been nothing to hear at the time I wanted to put them out. The first of the very few fireworks didn't go off for about another 20 minutes...and those were not terribly loud, or even close...being set off on the street behind me, and several houses away. I only know because I saw the rocket those people sent up....and that was the end of it! Anyway, the two finally went out around midnight.............and they both just trotted out into the yard in normal fashion...dogs are SO weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
