...of fireworks???

Here in the UK it is 22:53 so WHY do all the prats around here have to start letting off New Years fireworks EARLY?

For one thing it spoils the whole sky lighting up thing - for another it means my cats can't get in their last trip into the garden for a wee in peace!!!

I am SO with you on that - I have a 25KG German Shepherd Dog sitting on my lap right now, shivering - fair enough - Nov 5, Dec 24 & Dec 31 - I can plan for that - but it's EVERY FREAKIN' NIGHT from mid october to mid January - that's what really gets me....

Well, New Year only COMES once a year!

oh it is only abit of fun, they can do what they want, your cats have like 300 other days (i am excluding days for other events like guy fawkes and birthdays etc) It is a special event for some people.
Let them have fun!

Mag 3 Dot 1. I am lucky I have a 40 Kilo White German Shepherd of 13 YRS and he is never Frightened of Fireworks or Lighting or Thunder. It is the first Dog that has not been Frightened, My previous Dogs were Terrified but not this one. It was pretty bad leading up to Holloween for about two Months before and a Month after . I dont know if they have any left as the Police are confiscating them if they catch anyone using them. They are Generally Illegal in Ireland, except in Official Firework Display ,but they let them off everywhere. You will just have to hold your Shepherds Paw and reassure it , and use some Tranquillizers from the Vet. 40 Minutes to go to Zero Hour on Midnight 2007–2008. Happy New Year to everybody in Yahoo ,Ireland,UK, the World and everywhere else.

They've been going off where I am since 6 this evening,
I guess we've just got to make do with it really it is the new year.

Thank you
And have a good one.

Why let off fireworks at all? 2008 is just a number. And why waste fireworks and add to the already gargantuan amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere?
