We love fireworks on special occasions but it frightens our pets. Never take your dog out when you go to see them. My neighbor's did that and the dog was so scared he took off running and it took them days to find him..
I let my dogs out at midnight,
And sat down to write.
There was an explosion outside,
And my dogs tried to hide.
They hit the back door raising a fuss.
"Mom! Let us in! They're shooting at us!"
I opened the door, saw their reason for fear.
The town shot off fire works to encourage good cheer.
They lit up the sky as I watched from my deck,
With my dogs close beside me craning their necks.
As a rainbow of color filled up the air,
I said "Don't be afraid boys. Happy New Year.
