I have this same problem. I can't keep up with it because my neighbors are shooting off fireworks everyday the WHOLE summer. I have to vacuum daily. Any suggestions??

Schoolhouse, could you go early evening, sit in the car in the area and still see them? We have done that. Waiting until 9 pm or so makes a long day. I don’t find them particularly interesting after decades of attending firework shows, but other family members do and the kids of course. I would be happy to stay home. There was a loud show near our home last night. I was glad when it was over. The dog was not scared, just puzzled. Lgmd, I hear you, but that’s a battle we cannot win! (Remember I’m in charge of environment and recycling on the KT.) However there are a lot worse forms of pollution than one night of fireworks.

We have so many problems in our community with illegal fireworks and law enforcement acts like there is almost nothing they can do about it. Last year was awful with fireworks going on every night for a month before the 4th- and we are in tight tract houses :( Thankfully this year hasn't been quite as bad. Last year on the 4th, someone a few houses down lit his shed on fire with some illegal fireworks- bad enough that it required the fire department. We saw all this when we were coming home from the community display. People less than a block away were continuing to light off large, illegal fireworks and law enforcement present at the fire did nothing??? Our cat has already licked himself some bald spots from fireworks stress this year- again not as bad as last year. We had a dog who was terrified of fireworks, but who seemed to be drawn to gun shots (we had lived between two training ranges at one point and she would sit in the yard and turn her nose and ears eagerly in the direction of the sound of gunshots.) I don't know how she could tell the difference. The scariest thing I remember was hearing fireworks on New Years Eve and then realizing that the dog was not having any reaction...

I'm with the group on Skinny Dipper. It's that cool yellow in my overheated brain maybe......Beauty in Motion is another pretty one from Mr. Bennett..........Maryl
