We kicked off Christmas morning sitting on our sun filled porch, quietly taking in the day. My MIL is very attached to opening gifts and she was gleefully tearing wrapping paper.
Suddenly our dog, Luna began barking frantically and we were shocked to see a dog standing in our yard. He was wet and shivering having just swum up out of the laguna. Where on earth did he come from?
In Mexico, Christmas is celebrated December 24 with family dinners, midnight mass and fireworks, It was the fireworks that sent Oso to our house and numerous other terrified doggos running and in the case of Oso, swimming for their lives. Poor things.
After posting notices on numerous community pages, we located Oso’s family. The reunion brought tears to our eyes as his excitement was demonstrated through whimpers, wiggles and wet kisses. Unfortunately there are no photos.
Melon and Larry also found their way home. We are lucky enough to be out of earshot of the fireworks in town. Many poor dogs are not so lucky.

I love fireworks, but I’m completely willing to give them up. There is a new kind of almost silent firework. I wish everyone would switch to those, but so many people just love the noise.

It’s bad here. People will literally shoot them off all night.
