Horror of the 4th

4th of July was a nightmare for us. As expected there were people shooting all kinds of illegal fireworks all night. It was worse than previous years. I don't think the police even tried to do anything about it. I heard that the sheriffs office weren't even answering their phones. Maybe they were just to busy. We can hope they were actually out there trying.
My poor little Tuffee dog hide in the bathtub for hours and hours even tho I had given her a tranquiler. My two mares were really frightened several times by large display type fireworks that are totally illegal going off right over us due to the idiot people that live in this neighborhood. The three boy horses didn't seem to be quite as upset.
It was after 2 in the am before it slacked off and I was able to get some sleep. I spent alot of time out checking on the horses and making sure that the stress didn't cause one of them to run and tangle in a fence or colic.
I bet that there are more doctors on call on July 4th, both for people and animals, than any other holiday.
I heard that there were almost 100 dogs turned into the Albuquerque Animal Control or caught by Animal Control Offices who were having to work Saturday night and Sunday. There were about half of the dogs that did get back to their owners today. Of course there were probably twice that many dogs that weren't found.
We found a mini horse running loose this morning, caught it and held it until we saw a family out looking for it this evening. We were glad to be able to help and to keep the little guy from getting hit by a car or even more lost than he was.
And yet those shooting off all those expensive fireworks things never seem to learn that they are endangering their own lives as well as others, not to mention all the pets that are terrified every year.
