And Sweet Mingus Was Afraid, Too

My other nephew pup, little Mingus, had a hard Fourth of July, too. The fireworks made terrifying sounds for him, and eventually he had to be drugged. There are several appropriate warnings about shooting fireworks, especially around children and animals. Many animals have Post Traumatic Stress-like fear of loud noises.  Perhaps we should take heed and make sure the animals we love feel safe and protected.
