I am having a similar night only instead of dogs, one of my stray friends I mentioned before ran into the garage on my heels when a firework being set off illegally in the park behinD me scared her. Went right under the car where I can’t reach. I wouldn’t mind, but it was 97 today with humidity so the garage is still really hot and it smells because I put my dyed bag out there. She could NOT stay in there, but she refused to look at me or budge and I didn’t want to chase her. I put water and a box of dirt and left the screen door propped, but the noises got worse. About a half hour later while I was trying to rig the door so she could get out without another cat friend getting in, she bolted out at the next boom.
