Pets and the 4th of July.

We all know that on the 4th of July there are some really good firework displays in our communities. We all enjoy the festivities, and of course the great food. All of the above can be bad for your pets. As I have said before our pets rely on us for so many things. Food, shelter, comfort. They do not like to be sick any more that you or I and certainly not stressed out. Having the family over for a BBQ can certainly have an effect on Fido or Fluffy. It is best to keep them out of harms way, and from Uncle Ludwig who likes to torment them and feed them everything bad for them. Or little cousin Sissy who thinks the kitty is just so cute and likes to pull the tails of said kitties. And then there is Ludwig Jr. who is a master at setting off firecrackers next to Fido and Fido runs out into the street narrowly missed getting hit by the car Aunt Zelma is driving, which she isn't even suppose to drive. Get the picture. So lets take some safety measures for Fido and Fluffy. Find a nice comfortable spot in the house for them and provide soft music, food and water, and of course a litter box for Fluffy. Get their favorite toy and blanket, heck give them that ugly sweater of your husbands that you really hate, and check on them as often as possible. Keep all of the crazy relatives away from them and they should be good to go. Oh and pat down Ludwig Jr. for contraband while your at it. Okay so we are off to a good start for the 4th of July, more on this tomorrow so check back. I need to go and let Jezz out for some fresh air, making me crazy she is. Happy Cat now.
