Fireworks Scare Animals

All the species in our house are bothered by fireworks. Like Gary, we get plenty of late night noise from them. While only our cat is unnerved by all of them, the rest of us just wish they'd be restricted to the time around July 4 and/or non-personal use.

Went white water rafting a few years ago in Maine. We slept in tents at the place. About 3am someone started setting off sticks of dynamite in the middle of the field. If you ever want to be scared in your life, wake up to that noise right by your tent and the bright lights flashing. Yeah, we haven't been back. I am a full time NH resident and we hear fireworks in our hometown as well as up here. I am not a fireworks guy but I do not feel they should not be allowed because a dog doesn't like them and yes, I own a dog.

Last evening several nice fireworks displays on the mainland were visible from the west side of Welch. An appropriate ending to a nice summer season.
