Bailey is scared to death of fireworks (and they're not office equipment, go figure. ) so I know what you're going through. Unfortunately where I live, there are no laws that say people can't shoot off fireworks any time they want. Usually they're fired off on the 4th of July and around the New Year.

I always put Bailey in the bedroom turn the TV and the fan on, and talk to her until they're over. It's sad when she lays around shaking because she's so scared.
