Oops, thought this was connected to the preceding picture, so this was the one with the poor kitty-cat. Lots of articles about how to take care of your pet while teenagers everywhere around are setting off firecrackers.
People have been setting off fireworks in my neighborhood for a week or more – I think all the animals around and about are less frightened (a great deal less barking) than they were when it started. I feel terrible for the pets driven mad by fireworks!

Well, I think your daughter is having a natural reaction to loud unexpected noises – she has good sense. But it is difficult for people (especially kids) because other people love to make crazy noises! There is a test they give to determine what kind of person you are – a crazy mental test – but I forget the name of it – there is a “type of person” who is sensitive to noise. It has something to do with the best environment for you to work in. I HATE too much noise – so I am with your daughter on this and we are “that kind of people” who like things peaceful!
Thankfully, tomorrow will be a quiet day (we hope),

My daughter gets upset by the bangs and pops, too. 🙂

I also like things peaceful. Happy Fourth, Elephant! Warmly, Brenda
Bad kid. Poor cat. Maybe this cat will head to the basement, which is where my cats go to escape fireworks!
He is a terrible little fellow! Don’t worry, the cat gets away and lives happily ever after!

Good. For some reason that helps!
Reblogged this on pennipete.
I hope the people who have been shooting off the big stuff are done for the night as it is 12:05 am.
I agree it went on and on . . . fireworks at 1am – and there are always a few people who keep it up throughout the weekend – boom, boom boom!
