Seems a curious time of year for fireworks... Of course, over on this side of the pond, we celebrate shaking you lot off around midsummer... Though I have some serious doubt that we've ever escaped from the empire.

I'm sorry to hear about your furbabies, but I just can't help that I absolutely love fireworks... I do recall years ago, however, when our granddaughter was one or two, being at a firework show with her along. She was terrified and began crying, and I was so sorry! I picked her up and got in the car with her and closed all the doors and windows to try and shut out the noise...

So I understand your dislike, but it won't end my enjoyment.

Maybe give the critters a shot of Scotch? :D That would be my remedy if I hated the things... ;)
