Generally, Rufus isn’t afraid of anything. He’s the big tough guy around here. Not so true, however, when fireworks are involved. In case Rufus didn’t make his case well enough on his own, check out this photographic evidence:

He just cuddled up to his Daddy and begged to be protected! Isn’t my husband so handsome???
Be sure to see how our other doggie friends faired on the Fourth — Smalls, Kaya, Ben, Bailey, Ted, Foxy, Gus, and Zapp
Aww I love pictures of Rufus. Look at that face!! I would cuddle with him too!

Awww, Roo! Ben reacts the same way — except he prefers to be inside rather than snuggled up with anyone outside.
Those sure are two good-looking boys you have, Erin!

Lucy=also scared of fireworks. Also adorable (says me). But cleaning up the pee? = pain in the ass.
