Happy Independence Day! Today is a great day to read the Declaration of Independence--it's not very long. If you can get your hands on one, read the unabridged version!

Certainly scary for a lot of dogs, cats, and other assorted animals.

Our cat runs to the basement and hides in our storage room.

We had a German Shepherd years ago that was terribly frightened of fireworks and thunder. Sometimes I could soothe her but that wasn't often. She would shake like crazy and try to hide in places a big dog can't get to. I guess she thought she was small because she'd try to hide behind the chest the TV sits on, only a couple of inches. One time, she hid behind the clothes dryer, again a few inches, and couldn't get out! How she got in, I'll never know!
