I had to come home from work last night because my mother in law said Eddie was hiding under the bed, terrified of the neighbor's fireworks and refusing to come out for her. When I got home, he came out but was shaking like a leaf. I ended up taking him to work with me, and he was fine after that.

But it's probably worth some serious discussion. The only time Eddie has ever run away was on the Fourth of July in MIL's care. And there's another thread going around today about a South Carolina dog who took off because of fireworks. I definitely would not let a dog out unleashed when fireworks are popping off. Ever.

As for sedatives, I'd be real leery of them.

I like ilovebaby's idea of loud music and keeping the dog close.
