Dear gods. Karli sings to the trains. Fireworks have just been legalized in Georgia. I hadn't even thought to wonder how she might react.

The dog I grew up with, Gypsy (an extra-large Airedale) didn't like them one bit. Neither do I, but the first time I suddenly acquired huge, outdoor-only dog in my lap in my bedroom was something of a shocker.

Karli is bigger, but more evenly-tempered than a terrier. Thankfully.
