I'll check on that, as its really worth knowing, personally I think a licence should be necessary.

I personally hate fireworks and think they should be banned from sale to the general public. I can never understand that it is illeagal to carry a knife in public but OK to be in possession of a load of gunpowder. Have you seen the size of some of the modern fireworks, they are like mini bombs.  mad:

You are right they know we have pets it would have been decent courtesy to let us know. I also think they should be banned or only for organised events.

poof she is gone. she either hides under the bed covers, or under the bed.
but as soon as company leaves and the door shuts she comes out from hiding.
such a silly girl

Your little one isn't silly just unsure, like one of my boys Sooty. I was shocked as to their reaction but more so at Sooty's reaction.
They are both out at the moment in their pen, all is quiet - bliss.
