There is a major-you better not lite anything-ban here. If I hear just one crack or boom,I will be calling the sherriff. Where I live is so small (but surrounded by FtW) that the officer can be at my house in 5min or less.
We have 45 counties that have had grass fires and sooo many homes have been lost.

Thankfully fireworks have been banned in my town this year due to the extreme dry conditions. I know they can be a lot of fun for people, but furbabies just do not understand them. Loud screaming noises followed by big bangs!

Sorry to hear your neighbors are like that - they are just idiots. Hope you guys have a quiet 4th of July without too much noise from the neighbors.

I am sorry! I hate them too.

I am so lucky we have not had any this year. Jackson freaks out over them! We went to Gettysburg this weekend but did not get there until Saturday and apparantly they had their fireworks Fri. night, so yay we missed them! I was so glad. Last time he hid under the hotel bed for hours.

Unfortunately, fireworks are legal in my town. Late last night someone was lighting the really big ones off. They sound like a loud gun going off. I really hate those. Even with the door closed and windows locked we can still hear them. I am glad Suzi and Miely do not freak out. Suzi is the one who is fearful at alomst everything. I cannot wait until this day is over.

Those ones are terrible. My windows literally shake!! We went for a bike ride, it wasn't even dark, and they were going off like no one's business. I mean Giz doesn't panic but he does shake when our house sounds like it's coming down. Heck, I'm in a panic too.

I love the 4th and I'm patriotic, but I just don't understand spending your money to basically light it on fire and piss off your neighbors -.-

Debbie downer, out!

Dogs and baby did great with the fireworks at our house!

I was so surprised at how many people took their dogs to the city fireworks show!
Literally like one out of every 5 people there had a dog with them-I even saw a Yorkie in a Kwigy front pack it was so cute!

Edit: and I saw the largest GSdog I've ever seen at the boardwalk carnival! I backed up while video taping the kids and Dad on a ride and walked into it!
