Ok, I'll pass on that then. Good to know. |
Boulder Creek |
It already smelled like a wildfire yesterday at the barn - wonder how many fire incidents are going to be reported tomorrow. Severe drought and so much dead growth waiting for a spark. And the shelters inundated with lost animals. Not sure if the anxiety medication has worked on the horses yet, but they need it fast. Several hours to go and there's lots of booms already. New Years and the Fourth - absolutely dreaded days. Hope my vet friends are able to find solace tonight. |

Eve, I tried the thundershirt on Merlin before he passed. I used it consistently through thunderstorms, fireworks, etc. and it never worked. He'd still shake and whimper and hide in corners. |
Cadence Farms |
My dog isn't too happy right now. He wants to lay in my lap. Has anyone tried thundershirt for dogs and did it work? |
Versailles |
I try to find a good middle ground, where I'm not shaking homes and damaging rooftops, while also being able to have some time to enjoy the night Just, some people are big grouchy I suppose |
Versailles |
Ahhh. Yeah... I can understand the mortars being uncomfortable. Or the screechy ones. I tend to cover my ears for those, otherwise my ears twinge in juuuust the right way to be obnoxious. I launch mortars over the lake, though. No rooftops to land on there, and FAR fewer people. |
The Old Gods |
I'm in the middle of about 5 different people who're shooting off mortars |
Versailles |
They're... Not firecrackers, nor mortars. It's hardly an issue. They barely leave the ground |
Versailles |
Thank you guys <3 I'll go back out there and continue my fun time. I'll stick to my "quiet" roman candles and launch the "loud" ones (the slightly crackly ones...) on the lake tomorrow, on the launch dock. |

One final comment from me. Nothing wrong with celebrating the Fourth of July, as long as people are having fun and being careful with the fireworks |
Cadence Farms |
The police aren't going to do anything. It's the 4th of July. The police are too busy dealing with drunks, crowds, and injuries. |
Versailles |
I also had a super cute moment. A kid across the street, I'd say about the age of 10? Had never played with a firework before. He walked over with his mama and she asked if he could play with one because he never had before. I gave them one of my inexpensive, full packages. He was having an absolute blast. It was adorable. |
