Poor Sofietje and other pets. Lu...Dearest Marianne,<br />Poor Sofietje and other pets. Luckily here in Georgia not much of that is happening as a permit is needed for most types of firework! It varies by state but I don't regret that it is more strict. Indeed, such a tradition for setting off firework from back yards is a very dangerous one. But people can be oh so stupid; even at high cost. One wonders, at the same time those very same people scream about 'monetary crisis'... Poor children that become victims!<br />Wishing you a Happy and Peaceful 2015 for the remainder of the days...<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551838887388497373.post-61668976391380553082015-01-01T19:59:20.307+01:002015-01-01T19:59:20.307+01:00Gelukkig Nieuw Jaar.

Personally I don't think they should be sold to the general public as some people are so stupid with no regard to how dangerous they can be until it is too late.

Some states sell fireworks all year round so perhaps they shoot them off there for New Years but here in California there is none of that, at least that I know of. Perhaps there are those who have smuggled fireworks across state lines and had their fun last night. At least now I live in a year round fireworks free zone which I appreciate very much for the noise scares the bejesus out of people's pets and that's not good.

Fireworks...Very pretty, but not in a neighbourhood. Fireworks had to be banned in back yards after someone's house caught on fire from the smoldering firework that landed on a neighbour's house in a community next to ours. I like the idea of fireworks and we mostly have them down on the river, which is 5 min walk from the house. Still, though, there are some idiots that get a few drinks into them and decide to have fireworks in their yards, which the local mounties have to come and stop it all. Fireworks have to be handled with care and one must know what they are doing, for there are many accidents. My poor dog shakes so bad when fireworks go off - its almost like she is having a seizure which really upsets me. When we know there will be fireworks, we just turn up some music, so she can't really hear it, but like I said the "idiots" surprise us every now and then. I do go all over the world virtually and watch the celebrations in many countries on New Years Eve. I enjoy that very much. Poor little Sofietje, hope she came out of hiding. Happy New Year.
