Today in the USA we celebrate our country's 249th birthday. People will go on picnics, to the beach, BBQ out with neighbors and a host of other things to celebrate. Tonight will be fireworks and those will drive our fur family crazy. Those around us will celebrate by shooting off guns/fireworks into the air. That drives our pooches absolutely nuts.
Unfortunately what they shoot up into the air comes down and last January 1st what goes up did come down. We went out the next morning and found a dent in the hood of our vehicle where one of those bullets came down and hit our car. There is so much gun fire in our area that any invaders would be very negligent to ever try to take our area. In fact it would probably be highly dangerous to attempt that anywhere in our country except the gun free zones established by liberals/progressives.
As I look around the area where we live it looks calm and peaceful but on the fourth of July and new years it is anything but calm. Other times of the year I hear people out practicing to stay proficient. I used to have a .22 rifle but I gave it to my son years ago. I learned to shoot by laying a Coke bottle on its side and shooting through the small end you drink from and knocking out the bottom. That helped me maintain my expert status when I was in the military.
Being able to shoot firearms is one of our rights but I sure hate what it does to our dogs.
