An informal poll of Tanner and all of my Irish setters and poodles requests a ban on personal fireworks, which should have been enacted years ago. Wildlife of all kinds suffer from the fallout for no reason other than somebody's ephemeral thrill. Fireworks may be substituted for bellyrubs from the person of your choice. Now thunder... I can't do much about!

My cats hate fireworks, too.

Hi Tanner! You are adorable. Love your bandana! Tell your mom to give you a belly rub from me. 🥰

Absolutely adorable. I am with Tanner, I don’t like thunderstorms either! Give him a good belly rub for me.

Precious. A tuxedo and a white beard. My kind of guy. Enjoy. I debated, wasn’t going to go deeper into this emotion about pets, but I always think of the “gather ye rosebuds while ye may…”. At the time, rosebuds took on an entirely different meaning. I was however getting rid of some aggressive hibiscus wanderers in my rose bushes before spring and bloom. Thinking about loving the fragrance of roses of course reminded me of the gather ye…Enjoy your beautiful Tanner while ye may. Thank you for the picture.

Our dog Daisy, who passed away at 19-1/2, absolutely hated fireworks. We thought she’d give herself a heart attack. The only thing that helped was getting deafer and deafer in old age.

Hope Tanner can find some way to get through it. He’s a cutie!

Thunder is quite a bit harder to get away from. We don’t get much of it in the Sacramento Valley.

Oh, Tanner, ILOVEYOUSOMUCH!!! I have been petsitting for some years now and some of my clients medicate their precious pets so their anxiety is not overwhelming.

Some scoonch under me and some sort of hold me down from on top. Whatever they require we do, and it passes.

You can do hard things, previous little man. 🥰🥰🥰

Our Australian Cattle Dog becomes catatonic with fireworks. Medication did not help. We now go away to a state park for several days instead of staying home for the 4th of July, because between the neighbors and the town, the place sounds like a war zone, and that is the only way to protect her.

She is still recovering from the thunderstorms we had on Friday night, although we can mitigate it somewhat with a small fan on high and a favorite blankie draped over her in her bed.

OMG - Cute from the cocker spaniel and smart from the poodle. Tanner, ya got it all! I agree with a ban on those store-bought fireworks, which should be a crime in every city and every state. My cats hide under the bed . That seems like a sensible thing to do when it seems like the humans are shooting themselves silly outside. You hang on to your Teddy bear, Tanner.
