Dear List, As we celebrate our nations birthday please remember our animals. Dogs an dcats do not get along well with fireworks. I have a guide dog and although I enjoy the festivities I usually take her inside while fireworks are going off. I leave her at home if I need to go where I know fireworks are bing shot off. according to vet the fireworks make the dogs nervous,stressful and sometimes sick. their ears are more sensitive than ours. Every year there are young people that think it is funny to light,throw or otherwise fireworks at service/guide/hearing dogs. these animals can not perform their duties if frightened or nervous. please everyone be considerate of our animals and have a safe Independence Day. a Special Thank you to our military without whom we could not celebrate the birthday of this great country. thanks cora miller
