Somehow, one of our dogs got out of the yard–spooked by the fireworks no doubt–and we cannot find her. She didn’t have her collar on (they only wear them when we are going for a walk, or to the park, vet, etc). We don’t know where she is or how far she has run and it is going on 4 hours that she has been missing. I am sad and scared. I just want her to come home. Her litter-mate wants her to come home. Hubby is out again driving the neighborhood and beyond trying to find her.
Please Chip come home.
****edited to say that Chip came home at 5am. Yay!!!

One of our dogs was spooked by the fireworks, too, but luckily he didn’t escape. Very glad to hear your pup made it home safely.
I read something recently about combat veterans sometimes having trouble with fireworks, too — I’d never thought of that but it makes perfect sense.

This is why I hate fireworks. I am a major animal-lover (we have three dogs and used to foster/rescue) and the fireworks scare the heck out of my dear pets, even though they are inside. Every 4th of July there are tons of dogs that freak out and end up lost… I even worry about the deer getting spooked and running into traffic.
I am so glad your dog came home.
(I also worry that the knuckle-heads who set off fireworks in our cul-de-sac will set my house on fire. I’m really good at worrying. If it were an Olympic sport, I’d be a gold medalist.)
Congratulations on your newest family member! :))
