Happy Fourth of July!

Some dogs love fireworks and some shake uncontrollably when they hear them.  Tank and Harley loved them and would sit together and watch them every year.  Mugsy would start to shake when she heard the first pop and would be so upset sometimes I had to turn on the TV or music and close all the windows and sit with her and miss the show.  Every dog is different just like every child is different.  Know your bulldog and don't expose them to fireworks if they're scared.  It's very easy for a bulldog to get stressed and it can be harmful and even fatal if they get TOO stressed.  Please be sensitive to their needs as you would a child's needs.  We didn't treat Mugsy any different as a puppy than we did Tank and Harley and she still was so much more frightened and sensitive to things.  It's just who they are.  Have a happy fourth of July but please keep a close watch on the feelings and signals from your bulldog.
