Really sorry but have got to off load.......
Not being a miserable Bu**er, but wish people would be more considerate in a built up area when letting fireworks off. My poor little dog & cat (who are in the living room with me with telly on load!!) are sitting here wondering what is going on & are getting really stressed out. This is my cats first year of fireworks. I love fireworks myself but just think people should be a bit more considerate.....Rant over sorry to moan xx

They are really loud here tonight,Meg is barking her brains out,Tyler is fast asleep in his crate
They are really annoying,I have been letting the dogs out at around 4.30 and again at around 10.30 before bed,to make sure they don't get spooked

What I want to know is whenthe bl...y h..l firework night ENDS. I don't know about you having a 'rant' I'm well and truly p....ed off. Sounds like WW3 here been like this for over a week now. Think I'll book me and the animals into a padded cell for a fortnight next year.Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

tell you what p****s me offif you drop a fag end in the street £60 fine.
took max out earlier and the streets are littered with used rockets thats been falling for the past week,pulled one out of the lawn with a 4 foot stick on it,is that not littering.

I totally agree, my husband has just been out to the car & there is the remains of a firework on our car GGRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! We have had to put the radio on full blast in the garage for the rabbits & Guinea pigs - it really gets my back up!

I enjoy firework night. And that is just what it should be - one night and one night only

I couldn't agree more, god they make me furious... one night, i can deal with... how are we supposed to prepare when they go on indefinitely?

I have two dogs and a cat. The older dog (Kira) used to be utterly petrified, but now she's nearly 13 and she's going deaf, so it's not so bad (mixed blessings, eh?), but when close neighbours let them off she can still hear them. It's not just normal fear, it's total irrational terror, I think that's what these firework people don't get... they think dogs are just a wee bit frightened, when it's so much more than that.

Even my other dog and wee cat who normally don;t worry too much are upset tonight. And what about wildlife?

I agree with the sentiment about not wanting to be a kill joy, but I'm bl00dy glad it's p1ssing down tonight .

Yes, the poor wildlife that don't have radios or tv's to drown out the sound a bit - it really makes me sooooo angry. Don't get me wrong I do like fireworks but for 1 night only they should be let off. The ones near me have been so load tonight it sounded like there there were bombs going off. I think the bigger more loader ones should only be used for organised firework shows & people can only buy small ones over the counter. On my mum's estate tonight she says it has been really horendous - she says that she has heard loads of dogs barking & her dog Barney just wouldn't eat his food he was that scared. I have also been to check on my animals in the garage one of which has just had babies - luckily & hopefully mum & babies seem to be ok (still got the radio on for them). Am reeeally sorry to rant & go on but it gets on my nerves I hate to see animals upset xx
