The Things We Do For Our Dogs

I'd love to be outside setting off fireworks, but "safe and sane" fireworks are bad enough for my dog, and it seems everyone and his brother has illegal-in-California fireworks and is setting them off. The explosions send my dog into fits.

So as I've done for the past many years, he and I are inside, with the air conditioner on, watching tv with the volume turned up. At around midnight I should be able to safely let him outside.
