With Vegas we took him to a friends house right into the middle of the fireworks. I don't know if he could care less about the noise or if that helped desensitize him, but he is fine on the 4th. This is Orion's first 4th. Yesterday the little fireworks she just ignored. We have an idiot the next road over who has a mini cannon that they like to shoot off........That pisses Orion off! So far today she is unsure of the noise. She was outside playing and a firework went off and she ran into the house so fast her backend was passing her frontend up. She had a mohawk down her back. It's only 2pm. I stuffed some cotton in her ears to help with the noise. It's not really working. Any suggestions? I have the inner room with music set up for her, but it's still early afternoon and I don't want to put her in there so early.
