Doncha love that? Fireworks on NYE were not a thing growing up in Nebraska. They sure do love them here in Texas. Starting several nights ago, actually. Isn't that the truth. I'll never understand why Texans do this.

2 people were killed here and several others injured after letting off illegal fireworks this NYE. I LOVE (professional) firework displays, but don't know why people get such a kick out of illegal fireworks. Especially at 3am!! Idiots. I was just going to post this! Totally illegal where I live but people still do it every NYE. I decided to lock my cats up early - still daylight, 7pm to avoid the panic. Went to put them in their run, only to discover the teenager that lives behind us in his parent's garage had lit a big bonfire right by our fence and had already started partying with his friends! Cats were freaked out by the smoke and noise and refused to go in, so then had to corral them into our laundry later so they didn't run off. Luckily fireworks around here only go for about 1/2 an hour after midnight so it's not worth calling the police, but 3 am?? Just rude. Corinne

Our neighbors were setting them off too. Now my poor dog gets to become a neurotic mess on New Year's Eve too. Yay. Our five yr old German Shepherd Dog has gotten worse lately. And I keep forgetting to have benedryl and a thundershirt on hand. And even though she is not my dog, I'm always the one home on firework nights. She spent a couple hours in bed with me shaking. I'm sorry your neighbors are inconsiderate jerks OP

Ugh how horrible. Ridiculous to have it going on so long. I don't know why people feel the need to do that. Unfortunately fireworks are still legal where I am - really wish private sales would be banned altogether with public displays only.

My dogs were SO scared when I took them out to potty Patter, our shih Tzu was scared to death last night. Any loud noise like that bothers her. Poor little pumpkin. I hope she is better today and no more fireworks!
