The weather was beautiful yesterday so we didn't need to put the air conditioning on. However, we closed everything up at 8:30 p.m., put on a very loud dvd and put on the air conditioning so Ruby wouldn't hear the boom-booms as much. Fortunately the fireworks were the farest away from the house (5 miles) than at the other homes we've owned.
In FL, the fireworks were just down the street and our neighbors used to light loud things even tho they weren't supposed to and in MA, the high school was just down our street so the fireworks would be practically above our house!
Even tho Ruby paced the floor like crazy, she was less freaked out than normal by the noises.
At 10 p.m. we turned off the air and opened the windows and doors again to get the cool breeze (which was cooler than our air conditioning)
