The World Wide Pet Industry Association (WWPIA), the oldest non-profit association dedicated to promoting responsible pet care offers tips to keep your pets safe.

Bring all pets inside – Pets are animals; they can become easily spooked by loud noises and bright lights. Even a well-behaved and extensively trained pet will try to escape if they feel they are in danger.

Create a “Safe Room” – Choose a room in your home that is secluded from outside noises. Be sure that the room is well ventilated and cool, as anxious pets will pant heavily.

Close the blinds and play music, which will help block outside noises. Be sure to keep food and water in the room.

Offer comfort items – Surrounding your pet with their favorite toys, blankets or treats will help to provide some distraction.

Keep your doors closed – Constant foot traffic in and out of the room where your pets are staying increases the chances that they will escape.
Only have one person who is in charge or periodically checking on the pets.

Properly ID your pets – As a responsible pet owner, your pets should have ID tags and be micro-chipped. This will help recover your pet should they escape.

Accidents happen – Don’t punish your pet if an accident occurs in the home during this time. The stress and fear produced from loud noises can often cause house trained pets to urinate in the home. Instead, plan ahead. Cover the floor with newspaper and remove any expensive rugs that could be damaged.

Some other tips to keep in mind on July 4 from PETS 911:

Don't leave your pet unattended in a hot car, even for a few minutes.

Keep your pet supplied with plenty of water, using plastic bowls if they
are outside.

Use caution when exercising your pet as hot asphalt can burn the pads on
your pet's paws

PETS 911 Director Tracyann Mains says,"It's important to take extra care of your pets on July 4 because not only
is it the middle of summer but there is a lot of activity going on." She adds, "Pets will instinctively panic in an
uncomfortable situation, so please take the appropriate precautions."

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Gov. John Hoeven says North Dakota is sending a National Guard Black Hawk helicopter to California with three pilots and two crew chiefs, to help fight wildfires there.
A statement from Hoeven's office says the governor approved a request from California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to send the helicopter. He says it's ready to go within 24 hours of the request.
Hoeven says the helicopter crew will be on duty in California for two weeks.
The assistance comes through an agreement called the Emergency Management Assistance Compact, which allows governors to help other states in emergencies. The cost of the deployment is reimbursed by EMAC.

Dakota should be made in the United States. Fargo Senator Tim Flakoll says he'll introduce a bill in the next session to bars retailers from selling imported American flags.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) - The father of Sergei Carlson wants a judge to reconsider his decision not to accept a plea agreement in the teen's murder trial.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - State law now limits the amount of state impact grants to oil-producing counties. Dickinson State Representative Shirley Meyer says she'll introduce a bill to raises the cap from 6 million dollars to 40 million dollars, to help the counties maintain roads and bridges.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama is opening the door to altering his Iraq policy.
Campaigning in North Dakota, Obama says his upcoming trip to Iraq could alter his plan to bring U.S. troops home within 16 months. The Illinois senator says it all depends on what he hears in consultations with military commanders there.
As Obama put it, "I'm sure I'll have more information and continue to refine my policy."
He said he is merely saying now what he always has: that the war needs to be brought to a responsible end, but that - as he put it - "we need to be as careful getting out as we were careless getting in." The senator says his 16-month timeline was always premised on troops being safe and Iraq being stable.
