"There are plenty of ways to celebrate without traumatizing animals or keeping the neighborhood up all night. Going for a bike ride, having a picnic, watching a movie or hosting a vegetarian backyard barbecue are just a few.""vegetarian barbecue "

My dog doesn’t love fireworks but he’ll live.

I hate busy-body liberals.
There is only ONE thing that can stop us from having our fireworks - it’s so hot and dry it’s dangerous here in middle TN. lol
Many cities aren’t going to have their annual fireworks shows.

There are plenty here on FR that harbor a secret fear that someone, somewhere is enjoying themselves.
This is the same thing.
I expect to hear the far off booming of fireworks.

“Closing blinds and curtains, keeping the lights on and playing classical music at a normal volume will help minimize the booms and flashing.”
Setting off the fireworks outside would probably help too.

Imagine how traumatized my hunting dogs are! When they here thunder, their tails start wagging.

I’m not gonna charge my animals anything to watch and they enjoy the feast that begins the festivities with all that BBQ’d flesh they don”t care about a little noise in fact I’ll bet they are asleep 2 minutes after they eat !

Since fireworks are legal here in the great state of South Carolina, Wed evening I’ll be sitting on my screened in porch enjoying the displays courtesy of my neighbors. They usually put on a more than adequate show.
FU Lindsay hyphenated-last-name!
My dog has been enjoying fireworks for years.

Liberals have a visceral hatred for any sort of patriotic display. And one with warlike explosions is just over the top for the limp wristed faggots...........

My dog shakes and won’t get out of my lap. She does the same thing with thunderstorms. We got her a “thundershirt” and give her an organic sedative. This seems to work somewhat.
But I dislike fireworks for a different reason. They make noise and idiots can’t just seem to pop them on the holiday they’re celebrating. They pop the damn things for three days and way too late in the evening. If I wanted to hear “booms” all night I’d move to the Middle East. Or Chicago.

For those whose dogs do get jittery...we found a product named the Thunder Vest. Our female Yorkie goes crazy when fireworks or storms happen. We did not believe it would work - but it does....she maintains a nice, peaceful demeanor now....thank goodness one of our friends recommended it.

Hey! We give 'em a chance. Not our fault if they can't avoid the bouncing bombshells. Okay, maybe I shouldn't laugh at the coyotes running down the road joyously in flames, but I do. I figure one of us should enjoy it.
By the way, I only go to vegetarians barbecues if they serve beef ribs and baked potatoes. I try not to go overboard on the tossed salads.

Jack Russells are the bravest dogs in the world but just don’t like fireworks or thunderstorms. Mine just retreats to under the bed till they’re over.

My dog loves to go to the range (but does stay in the car parked well away from the line). Fireworks are just not a problem.

Lindsay Pollard-Post from PETA. There's a tangle of neuroses that makes a three-tailed tomcat in a rocking chair factory look normal by comparison. These days instead of medicating them they let them write letters to the editor.
In fact, Lindsay, animals don't do that because they're frightened of fireworks. They do it because they hate you.
