Sophie was just too cute for words while we were ringing through her owner—she claimed the windowsill as her own little sunny lounge spot! ☀️🐾

Nothing like a warm patch of sun and a curious pup taking it all in! 💛

🎆 Fireworks & furry friends don’t mix! 🎇

As celebrations kick off, here’s how to help keep your pets safe and calm:
✔️ Get walks in early before the noise starts
✔️ Set up a comfy space with their favorite blanket or toy
✔️ Play white noise or calming music
✔️ Keep them indoors and secure
✔️ Use tools like thunder shirts or pheromone diffusers (Adaptil/Feliway)
✔️ Reach out to your vet if extra support is needed

A little prep goes a long way in keeping them happy and stress-free! 🐾
