Hopefully the sun is shining, the barbecues are fired up and everybody is enjoying a nice extended holiday weekend. Get out and play some golf, enjoy some time with the family and remember the pets on this day of celebration that brings loud noises.
We will be back on Wednesday with fresh new content.

Wearing Hackers Red at The Nashville Sounds
i feel like the mascot got handsy…
Comfort. A big place to lie down and cozy up / “hunker down”
at the end of the day, it really depends on the temperament of the dog
STUD!
That’s funny and maybe the worse thing I ever saw…
Played 36 today including 18 with Cal and the Wife.
Made them tacos (taco tuesday, duh), and avoided fireworks haha!
Hope you all had an awesome day!
Sorry I missed this. For future reference, we’ve had great success with our frightened dogs in the past by playing "Light Classical" music in the basement (Directv channel 866) fairly loudly to mask the fireworks. Without Directv, I’d just find another source, of course.
In the weeks or month lead-up to the 4th, I’d condition them by slowly ramping up the volume. Obviously, with their hearing far superior to ours, a moderate level can be LOUD to them. Video proof, the few times we left them alone, showed the plan to work great. The loudest booms would get their attention, but they’d remain calm.
That was with our 3 dogs, two of them terrified by fireworks and thunderstorms that we lost a few years ago.
Dogless for two years, we just rescued an 18 month old female Cane Corso a month ago, and like our prior Clyde (also a Cane Corso), she has no fear of fireworks or thunderstorms. Only the loudest booms get her attention with head quickly raised, ears alert. But then she’ll just lay back down.
Thank GOODNESS. Hope this holiday worked out well enough for you and Rocco.
