Could understand it if it was dark, Bobbi. Can never get my head around setting fancy rocket-type fireworks off while there is still about a half hour's daylight.
Ahh bless, when house sitting for my Brother back in September, I've known their dog for years but never being around there when fireworks going off (No idea of occasion) he's far too big to be a lapdog but he was physically shaking and yes I let his front half lay on my lap.
