Fourth of July week can be very trying for dogs what with the skyrockets and all. This was Phoebe’s first Independence Day with us and we learned that she is as terrified of artificial explosions above her home as she is of thunder.
This was a long dark week of the soul for poor Phoebe who had to wander around shivering and panting all day listening to thunder and then all night as she listened to fireworks.
Daphne, who is terrified of everything except thunder and fireworks, slept through most of the ordeal awakened only by Phoebe’s bed and couch shaking shivering.
And as if all that wasn’t enough, they even got baths.
