[Magdalen] And So It Begins.

[Ann Markle]

My Dori was panicked last night by inconsiderate early celebrants here at
the campground. And my Facebook posting about the unintended consequences
of fireworks  (on animals and humans) got a response about a veteran with
PTSD. Distant firecrackers don't bother her, nor does thunder. But those
close by booms scared her out of her little wits! It's hard to be an
8-pound creature with a gentle soul, when it sounds like the whole world is
blowing up around you!
