This has been a long day for Dodger, our 9 year old yellow lab. He has an unreasonable fear of fireworks. When he was a puppy, the neighbor boy threw firecrackers at him while he was tied up outside. Since then, he has disliked all loud popping sounds, but the last few years that fear has become irrational.
He has not slept well the last few nights and wouldn't go outside today unless we walked all the way out with him. Throughout the evening he was never more than a step behind me where ever I went. Tonight when I tried to go to bed, the dog insisted on sleeping in our room. We tried it but he couldn't lie still. Finally, I made him go in the hallway and shut the door. Five minutes later he burst in. Since Jeff has to preach tomorrow and Dodger is my dog...I guess I get doggie duty. It's going to be a looooong night!!
