Fireworks have intensified greatly. Doesn't bother my Pittie, but I feel badly for other animals, wildlife included.

I just put her under a blanket next to me and she is fine.
But yes I know, some animals are frightened.

Shoot 'em up in the air! Gravity wins.

People end up getting shot in the head. Kids sometimes.

Geez how stupid.

I think they have a cannon across the street from me. I wonder how much they spent on fireworks this time. It sounds like they're in my front yard. My cat is hiding. He usually goes out in the evening and I let him back in in the morning, but I don't think he's going anywhere tonight.
