>>We were trapped at home because of illegal fireworks.

Fireworks are legal here, Molly the mutt spent the day in the house, drugged with valium and listening to Bach and Beethoven. ;) Molly runs and hides when I grab a firearm, Maggie and Fred go stand by the door. I've got so many dogs that pack behavior is quite evident. Molly grooms the alpha female, while the alpha male literally does nothing, at all, ever. Maggie is the alpha female, Molly the beta peacekeeper, so occasionally Molly goes after Mags, which means a fight because Mags doesn't back down from anything, even momma racoon with babies.

People visit and eye the Grand Pyrenees warily, but it is Mags they need to watch out for.

Anyone need a donkey or a chicken? I have a surplus. The dogs, I'll keep. ;)
