They're setting off fireworks at 3:30 PM? All of our goldens were terrified of fireworks. Maggie just gets pissed off and runs to the picture window growling and barking. It's going to be a long afternoon/evening. Hope they drink themselves into oblivion early on.

I heard some going off just after noon while we were out walking the dogs.
Are they just trying to see if they won't blow themselves up?

I'll admit I also dropped a few 'F' bombs screaming like a lunatic for a significant period of time. The next day they started putting up a fence in their backyard to keep their dogs and the friend's dog. Problem apparently solved. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Well, hell! I'd be GREAT with this approach!

The last time we had Shadow here over the July 4th weekend, I was showering around 9 at night and turned around and Shadow had gotten into the damn tub with me! He was getting soaked and just looked up at me as if to say, "This is fine. This is great. Don't make me go out there." The neighbors were underway with their annual 'terrify the dogs' fest.

Anticipation!
As annoying as I find them now, I used to love playing with fireworks.

I like the color. I don't like the noise.

A kid in my high school class blew the pinkie finger off one of his hands making a bottle rocket in 10th grade. A person I knew won the "who can hold the firework the longest" bet.

SMH.

Is HE still around or did he also win a Darwin Award?

As far as I know, he's around. This was 25+ years ago. He lost a couple fingers, got patched up, went to a party that night, and bragged about it.

I don't know what kind of firework/firecracker/explosive thing he was holding, but that story went around every year when we got together with people who knew him.

Testosterone + alcohol + explosives = effective population control.

We shot off many in our childhood but never lost fingers and they Boomed better than anything today.

You know how Google has their logo/banner with appropriate illustrations for that day? Today's has a bunch of chickens with a flag, a trumpet, banging a drum, etc. I thought, how cute is that!

Then I realized they were supposed to be Bald Eagles for the 4th of July ...
