We have a Aussie named Trixie that runs to the house anytime she hears a bang. We usually bring a bed into our walk-in closet and she seems fine. Its dark and quite in there and I think she thinks its a cave.

I love the celebrations and fireworks but hate them simultaneously because they affect so many pets negatively. ☹

Thank you for sharing this!
