I hate to be that person who seems like a kill joy but I’ve gone from loving Fireworks/Bonfire Night to absolutely fucking hating it ever since we got a dog. One random firework went off just now as I got home from work, poor George is shaking like a leaf and is so scared he followed me into the toilet. I’m well aware that the only reason he’s come to me is because my mum doesn’t do doggy licks and cuddles, and because my dad and sister are both currently away, but my point remains that he’s absolutely terrified.
This whole weekend is literally going to be me wrapping/swaddling the dog in my dad’s dressing gown, sitting on my parents’ bed with him, the curtains closed and the doggy music channel playing because for some reason, people decide to shoot off fireworks not only on the 5th but also every other bloody night approaching and following it. Last year it went on for nearly three weeks straight and my dog was a nervous wreck.

Mutt and Jeff by Bud Fisher: "Ain't Jeff Got Fun To-Day?"
TOP PANEL
[ID: Mutt stands in front of a giant lit firecracker, lighting his cigarette with it. Jeff stands some distance behind it, a cigarette in his mouth. /end]
MAIN COMIC
[ID: Jeff struts around town, carrying a gladstone bag. /end]
Jeff: I may be a man in years, but I'm still a boy at heart!
[ID: He hides behind a corner of Mutt's house, opens the bag on the ground and takes out a giant firecracker. He turns the corner to peek into an open window. /end]
Jeff: I always feel ten years old on the Fourth of July! Oh, fine! There's Mutt's bedroom window!
[ID: Jeff places a barrel under Mutt's window and kneels on it to light the firework. /end]
Jeff: I doubt if Mutt knows this is the Fourth of July!
[ID: Jeff peeks into Mutt's bedroom and finds him fast asleep in bed, dreaming of a gavel banging on its sounding board. /end]
Jeff: No, he don't know it's the Fourth! He's unpatriotic!
[ID: Jeff lifts the lit firecracker in through the windowsill and sets it gently on the floor. /end]
Jeff: I'll wake him up and tell him about it!
[ID: Jeff rolls his barrel back down the hill, away from Mutt's house. /end]
Jeff: Playing boyish pranks always was my dish! Now to hide behind this barrel.
[ID: The smoke from the lit fuse wafts around Mutt's sleeping head. /end]
Mutt: ?
[ID: He's awoken by the smell. /end]
Mutt: Sniff sniff!
Smoke!
[ID: Mutt turns around, startled to find the firecracker on his floor. /end]
Mutt: Well, what th'...?
[ID: Jeff crouches behind his barrel, overjoyed. Unseen by him, Mutt tosses the firecracker out of his window. /end]
Jeff: That giant fire-cracker ought to explode in a second now! Oh, you glorious Fourth! Tee hee.
[ID: The firecracker finds its way to Jeff and explodes, destroying his barrel. /end]
SFX: BOONG!
[ID: Jeff sits up on Mutt's lawn, his clothes torn up and a fresh black eye shining on his face. He turns to look at a surprised Mutt leaning out of his windowsill. /end]
Jeff: You big piece of cheese! What's the idea?
Mutt: ?

I hope everyone has a safe 4th of July! Please stay hydrated, wear a mask, practice social distancing, wear sunscreen, and practice firework safety. Hope you all have a great day ahead of you (as currently it is just after midnight on the 4th as I write this)...please stay healthy and safe! Much love! ❤✌☺
Happy 4th of July to all my fellow American followers out there!
Unfortunately I don't like this holiday because of the loud bright fireworks. Think of this scene from PAW Patrol the Movie:
(This is also why I and many other autistic people hate fireworks...)
My inner Marshall is here now to give everyone firework safety tips: Everyone who's doing fireworks tonight...don't be like Humdinger! Be safe and responsible! Keep all the fireworks a safe distance from people, pets, plants, and objects, you don't want anything or anyone to accidentally catch fire. Also make sure that all the fireworks that stay on the ground, like fountains, are dunked into a container of cold water when they are done with their show, to make sure the last remaining flames get completely put out. And WATCH FOR STRAY SPARKS!!! Just ONE stray spark can cause a fire if it hits a flammable object or a plant, so be careful! And be careful with sparklers as well, make sure everyone using them stays safe and make sure the stray sparks don't hit anything.
I always get anxious and afraid on the 4th of July because of the fireworks. My neighborhood has tiny backyards and people really like to light off the kind of fireworks that go up in the sky, which were NOT made for small yards like the ones we have. It always makes me go insane imagining worst case scenarios like one of them hitting the trees or something and causing a big fire. I can't stand thinking that way but I get all fired up (Marshall pun 100% intended) with anxiety and I can't help it.
You can talk about how your house cought on fire because your neighbours set fireworks off, and firework defenders will still yell about how you're just a snowflake for being bothered by loud noises.
Like bish, the loud noises are shit, I am also worried about my dog and do have sencory issues, but still, I'm more conserned about dieing before the new year because my neighbour is an idiot, yet legally alloved to set of explosives, unsupervised, 2 meters from my bedroom window.
(No nothing caught on fire luckily, but we weren't sure about it until we checked)
