Not looking forward to the fireworks tonight.

My dogs go berserk. I've tried different calming treats and even "ACE", a sedative from the vet. Nothing helps. I have a Thunder Shirt, no luck. I have some hemp seed chews I'll try tonight.

It's insane. I hope it's not as back as July 4th.

In fact, for the last couple of days. My kitty hides in my closet n I try to keep some music going in my bedroom for her.

And I might be asleep by the time the noise starts - and my dogs will wake me up barking. I'll try to stay awake so I can play music for them but I will probably nod off.

not seem to matter that it is illegal!

Gave my kitteh "Quiet Moments" (a melatonin compound), and his favourite catnip/passion flower treat. He is stretched out sleeping on my lap right now.
