I Lost my Wonderful Dog 15 years to the day I brought that sweet boy home…1/1/26. Fireworks are responsible. They are also Illegal and have been for years, but that doesn’t seem to deter them. I didn’t lose his as if he ran away. I lost him because I had to put him down, as he tangled himself up in a corner of my office where he had NEVER gone before… He either dislocated his hip or his knee. He couldn’t bear weight on that leg. If I could pinpoint the guilty parties on the street behind me, I would have decked them. Then reported them. I am a Non Violent RN… I still would have decked them. Shame on selfish people…And to top that off, we have been in Stage 3 Water Restrictions for years, Serious Drought… I wonder how many homes catch fire in these conditions… As I said, Shame On the Selfish Idiots…
All stocked up with cold drinks and a patio chair. I tend to watch other people’s fireworks.
About 15 years ago on July 4, I was visiting somebody who had a house mild rise that might even be called a hill
way out in the country and a full porch all the way around the house. I love that design, but modern house arent built that way much anymore.
So they weren’t doing fireworks and we were all just sitting out drinking beers or sodas.
And because of the small rise, we could probably see I don’t know maybe 5-10 miles or something.
There were a few tiny towns around by towns I mean, a gas station and a church and some houses that were close together
And it was mostly just small ranching country
As soon as it got dark, we could see way off in the distance, the fireworks from the nearest serious town and they were gorgeous
But after that stopped, all the neighbors got to work
And for about two or three hours no matter which direction we looked there were fireworks
We could just walk all the way around the house on the porch and there were fireworks every which way.
Most of them went on until after midnight and the last of them petered out about 3 AM
You could just kind of hear them because of the distance so the local pets weren’t going nuts
But you could see them and it was pretty cool
Some of the people doing it even had some of the big colored fancy stuff
There was nothing in the paper later on about somebody getting burned or injured and no local fires reported so I guess they knew what they were doing or they got lucky
Not gonna use any this year, but yeah, I have a stash available where I can pick it up.
I don’t shoot off Fireworks.
I bring my camera Capture them!
None here in CO, where everything’s catching on fire everywhere.
None for us and the dogs. They get nervous and shake when the booms come.

That view would be cool to have every year
Yeah no…. Too dry already and we just had almost a week of rain.
