Who else is pulling out the dog anxiety meds this weekend? 

The 4th of July is one of the most stressful times for pet owners. There are very few dogs in the world that like fireworks. Most dogs dislike them because they don't know what they are, and are understandably scared. These explosions are far louder than your average thunderstorm, and poor puppies don't understand the history of the American Revolution! If your dog is going to freak out this weekend, these dog memes might make you smile before all of the action takes place.

    siniristiriita @siniristiriita One of the largely overlooked benefits of having a dog is that you can put a lil hat on them and take them for a walk and see everyone you pass by smile because there's a dog with a lil hat. Käännä twiitti 16.08 24.2.2019 Twitter for iPhone

    Too bad that 99% of dogs hate hats and try to take them off as soon as you put them on.
