How do you feel about firecrackers?
Kerry:
Firecrackers are banned in Australia. We have big firework displays on special occasions, such as New Year's Eve, and the displays usually centre around Sydney Harbour's spectacular scenery, featuring the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Such displays usually attract hundreds of thousands of spectators. But as for individual, personal use in Oz, firecrackers are strictly illegal. That wasn't always the case. When I was growing-up in the 50s and 60s, we celebrated Empire Night with firecrackers and a bonfire at the local beach. There were always horror stories in the media the following day, about some idiot putting a cracker in some poor dog's ear. Unlike all the other little boys, when I was a child, I personally preferred the pretty Catherine wheels, sky-rockets and sparklers, over the noisy bungers that exploded with a deafening bang. I can't imagine why that was so! ::) ;) :)

Fireworks and thunder (both fortunately rare here) both make my dog get in the bathtub. And my four year old in my bed. She and I agreed this evening that she can just go ahead and sleep n my bed every night til after the 4th of July.
I CAN tell that the teenage boy down the street has moved away. It's much quieter this year than the last two years. Still kind of noisy, though.

Awww! That's so cute! :D
Both Cody and Oreo sleep with me anyway. But even if they didn't, I'm sure they would insist on it this week. They HATE those fireworks; especially when one lands on my roof next to the bedroom window! :laugh:
Poor babies.
