[Vision2020] Fireworks(just black cats and stuff)

Wed Jul 5 12:32:49 PDT 2006

I used to love setting off firecrackers in town, until I saw how they can 
scare the bejeezus out of animals.  My poor cat was scurrying all over the 
apartment, trying to get away from the noise.  Kind of hard to explain to a 
frightened dog or cat that it's the Fourth of July, and there's nothing to 
be scared of.   Carl Westberg Jr.
