Another dog missing since July 4th fireworks. ☹️ Please keep an eye out.

UPDATE: Ollie has been found.

Missing from Burnham Hollow Road in Oliveira. Call Enrique if you see him. Ollie is skittish. Ollie is just a puppy and became terrified at the fireworks at the Cowboy Glamping Resort place up in Olivera Valley.

This is the first of many posts about Missing Dogs after last night's fireworks. The time has arrived that loud, obnoxious, violent fireworks are reconsidered for the sensitive Beings who live among us - humans with PTSD, all of our animal kin -domesticated and wild. In Europe, many places have mandated silent fireworks - all of the visual beauty with none of the trauma. Rude or obnoxious comments in support of loud fireworks will be deleted.

Reminder that there are four legged Beings and two legged Beings for whom loud fireworks are scary and may trigger PTSD. This includes veterans. So - be mindful of your neighbors and fellow Beings.

Heatwave continues. Walk your dogs early morning or late at night in grass, in gardens or in the forest. Avoid asphalt!!! Provide plenty of fresh cold water. Be vigilant for signs of heat distress.
