Cooper is our big orange dog - the one that barks at anything and everything relentlessly. I often marvel at the fact that none of the neighbors have wrung his neck yet as he [...]

West Fargo residents love their fireworks. They especially love things that go "boom!" Hence, the couple of weeks before and after July 4th are filled with lots of loud noises that can be heard far and wide. That is all well and fine for most folks - most folks love fireworks.
