we had 2 bands of thunderstorms yesterday late afternoon, AND fireworks. duke my senior gets very nervous, so we did an early "outie", i picked up the water dish and gave him 3 mgs of melatonin. the melatonin works wonders for him, he can (sorta) hear the boomer, but doesn't care. i took the dogs out at 1:30, then back to bed until 6:30 breakfast time. now i'm up and they're asleep, AGAIN
