I Hate My New Neighbors

[Twisterdog]

My dogs could care less. They might bark once at an especially loud one, but they'll get over it. They also bark once at back-firing cars, sirens, motor-cycles, etc.

My kids and husband are out in the desert right now doing fireworks. I don't go, because I am a worrier and spoil everyone's fun.

This year I've been pretty lucky so far. I heard a few small ones last night but it didn't last very long. Tonight I can hear some being set off and it's most likely coming from Great America which is an amusement park. I just stayed home and watched them on tv. My cats don't seem to be too bothered by them. The first year that I had Sky, he hid under my bed all night.

We had such bad rain Tuesday night that we had flash flood warnings, and yet the city next to us still carried on their fireworks display!!

All I can say is thank goodness we've finally made it through last night. My neighborhood has turned into a 16 location full blown fireworks show. I can view professional looking fireworks from anywhere I'm sitting on my back porch. They're illegal but still happening all over??? How do these people get away with it?

I love to see fireworks as much as the next person but when I feel Delilah may collapse any minute, I get really upset. What a terrible night. Now, the neighbor right behind me has set up those launching things and it sounded like bombs were going off until around 3 a.m. I hope we don't have another night of this tonight!!!
