Usually, when the fireworks start this time of year, I would be expecting my dog ,Bella, to do her normal thing. Freak out! Shake! Hide in the very back of my closet. This year, I have spoken to her very calmly and reassuring that it's ok. I've also looked inward and calmed myself in response to her. Hope that makes sense.

The book that I'm reading talks about "mirror neurons" in our brains. I was trying to calm myself so I could speak calmness to her. Again. Hope that makes sense.

She sat out with us on the back patio tonight, in the midst of the fireworks, I calmed myself and spoke reassurance to her. No shaking!! She say right beside me. They were 2 streets over, but still in our space.

Interesting.
