Hello there Boston Dogs, Duchess Poppy here!
I can tell you from experience that Boston's July 4th Celebration is going to be noisy. And I do not like noise! I like things cool, calm, and quiet.
Did you know that there are silent fireworks? Penny found this article about a town that made things better for us noise averse critters by choosing those.
Update: Here's another article from the Boston Globe.
But here there will be lots of flashing lights in the sky and big booms going off along the river. I'm planning on staying home, but even if I hide in the bathroom, I know it will make my building shake.
I found a bunch of tips Over on PetFinder about preparing for big parties like this.

And, just in case you were wondering, dogs and cats are not allowed at the Boston Pops Concert on the Esplanade. Only official, working, or service animals may attend. (But I don't know why any of us would want to go to this noisy, crowded place. Besides, we would only distract the police dogs who have important work that day.)
Have a safe and Happy July 4th!
Duchess Poppy Whitehead
P.S. Here's a link to all our Sunday Dogs. I'm in charge of recruiting the talent for these features, so let me know if you want to star some week.
