Pets and Fireworks do not mix well not just in LA, but everywhere...

Pets and Fireworks do not mix well. Most pet savvy people will share and advise you ‘face- to- face’, when they meet you and the conversation comes up about pets and Fireworks. Generally you are able to read all over the internet on the various  social media platforms the simple message:  keep your pets indoors and have soft music on, to shelter them from the scary sounds of explosions as well as the visible Fireworks in the sky.

It has been so many years, that I cannot even recall when the last time Diane and I went to see Fireworks outdoors. If I had to guess I would say at least ten or more years ago. Now with that said we stayed at home again. We were invited by the neighbors to stay and enjoy the local illegal fireworks and to watch the legal ones as well. We opted against it.

Instead, I watched a great Red Sox game on TV and could watch another Red Sox victory. Once the game was over, I came into my home office to check my emails and see what is going on in the world.

 Diane and our cat Jill, decided to stay in the living room and watch the Fireworks.

Seriously those of you who read my blog posts know that I always brag about the fact that our pets are different from others. Now with that said look at this picture and tell me I am exaggerating.

Endre all those booms and bangs from the fireworks can be scary for pets. 

I would say you made the right decision to skip the fireworks, except that you opted to watch the Red Sox instead ...... LOL

Hi Endre - Mario is our only animal that has a sensitivity to fireworks (and guns - in duck and goose season, they're common noises here), and we got him through last night by watching TV with the volume way up. He did okay.

Endre,  The fireworks don't mix well with me either.  I am neither a pet or a vet and those illegal bombs exploding so close to my home leave me feeling very agitated.  I like watching legal fireworks from a distance.  I dislike the bombs that sound and feel like they are exploding in my living room.

That said, that's an adorable photo of Jill (I got it right this time and did not confuse Diane your wife with Jill the cat) watching the fireworks.

Endre we were at a neighborhood party and made it home before the fireworks started because Barney isn't a fan of loud noises.  We could see them from our home so it was all fun and good!

We were watching the fireworks and Zeke was right next to us. The other dogs were in the house as they did not like the noise.

Endre Barath, Jr. - I am literally rolling on the floor laughing after reading what Joe Pryor wrote in his comments! I'm thinking that if ever there comes a time when I want to quit the business, I'm going to ask the two of you to invest with me in Movie Theaters across the country for doggies and cats only matinee's and evening programs with Spa treatments, treats, blankets, beds, and beverages for a safe haven during  July 4th firework displays across the country. Watching movies like "Woofering Heights, Lassie," and other great animal movies would be fun!  Maybe we could even have shuttle buses with advertising, such as "Doggies and Cats Go Hollywood," for a night out of town!

Hi Endre --- dual pane windows or dual personality feline?  Maybe both.   Maybe neither.

We only heard a few fireworks off in the distance, and it got the dogs barking.

I have no idea how my dogs aren't bothered by fireworks but, somehow, they are not - they sleep right through it!

Our groomer was by this week and she said that she has to stay in with her rescues and even medicated, they are terrified. I just want to put them in a noise-proof room until the night is over - I feel so bad for them!

Hope you're having a fabulous Sunday, Endre!

I absolutely love the 4th of July fireworks, be it the local municipal show or the neighborhood one. Opted for  sitting in our backyard this year and lucky to have them shoot them off directly overhead.  Magnificent display!!! I have no pets so I did not have to take in consideration.  Your photo of Jill was a 'no words necessaary' photo :) Thanks for sharing your 4th of July evening, Endre Barath, Jr. . The fourth happens to be my favorite holiday of the year.
