I totally agree...even when I didn't have pets! This is my 1st year with Taz so don't know how he'll react, he follows the hoover round and sits looking out the window when it's thunder and lightening but fireworks are a totally different matter....always moved the rabbit and g pig indoors during the firework period....fireworks should be kept to Nov 5th, makes me laugh the eejits that let them off when its still light
