My dogs hear the fireworks and they run out in the back yard to bark at them. When everything quits, they come back inside thinking they have done their job.
Thunderstorms however.....

No fireworks here because of the drought. Also thankfully no wildfires either.

We have a major burn ban so no firecrackers here. The city puts one on but it about 4 miles from my house so no problems. I know it is a pain. Sister has a yorkie that goes ape ---- when a storm is coming. You can always tell.

There was no lack of fireworks in my neighborhood. We have been listening to them for four days....rather nights. Lsst night it was after 1:30 before I got to sleep. Don't really like fireworks to begin with.. pretty but I could do without.

poor animals. and me too. i hate fire crackers. mainly because i fear fire from them. last night our yard lit up with them being fired off in our neighbors back yards and later the front street. where are the police??never around when you want them. at least it's over. well it is if they have used up all their favors they bought. then New Years Eve!
and my 3 cats didn't like them at all.

I know fireworks around here were still going off close to midnight. I went to sleep on our familyroom couch because it is quieter in here! I think I'm getting old :-o

I have reached the point where I hate this holiday because of the trauma to my puppy. I tranquilize her (prescription) but she still hides in my bed. Last year the fireworks went on for days after the 4th and she was traumatized for months afterward. She now runs and hides from any loud noise, regardless of the time of year. So sad.

We had to put one of our dogs in the shop and the other the garage for several hours last night. My dog Chili Palmer can sleep through anything so we left her in her dog house. She didn't even know her sister was gone...LOL

It was rather tame last night concerning the fireworks. Maybe people in the forest finally realized tinder dry trees and fireworks don't mix.

New Year's Eve is just as bad, with idiots shooting guns randomly into the air and fireworks going off at midnight.
