Early fireworks

Post by Ahumphers91a » Wed Jun 29, 2011 10:38 pm

God I hate early fireworks...LOL, So my male just popped his kennel door because I forgot to put the lock on it, and got in with his son. Yes, they had an arguement... :mrgreen: No injuries. But these "bleep" people are doing fireworks at 10:30pm (past noise curfew). My male heard the noise and wanted to go hunting. Oh well, in the end it was my fault for not putting the lock on the latch of the kennel. Just felt like a good ramble.

If the dog has been hunted over and birds killed for it I think fireworks is a non-issue. I have 2 females that are scared to death of fireworks and thunder but love to hunt and a shotgun blast. If I had a puppy or a dog that hadn't been hunted a lot I would take some precautions.

ITS THE 4TH OF JULY FOLKS, PUT THE DOGS AWAY! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR YOUR DOG TO SEE FIREWORKS.NOTHING GOOD CAN HAPPEN. PUT THEM IN THE BASEMENT AND GO ENJOY THE SHOW. IT IS JUST NOT WORTH THE RISK TO PROVE ME WRONG.

None of my dogs like fireworks. It's unreal. They don't target shooting either. But take the shotgun out and it's showtime.

Not saying the dogs were scared, I think he thought I was hunting without him and he popped those cheap latches on the chainlink kennels.I usually wrap a chain around it so he can't because he has done it many times in the past, but I had forgotten and he got into his sons kennel lastnight. I heard em fighting from the basement, first thing I did was blast em with the hose and then separated them. Little turds. :)

Every dog I have hates em so they are put up for the party. Living out in the country I dont have that problem, my son lites some small stuff but nothing like in the city. They still hunt and are not gun shy so let em rip and I will watch. The stuff we shoot this saturday will be some nice stuff. My birthday is Monday :) so I celebrate to the max here. Used to think it was all for me, had birthday cake :) my name on it.... was 7 or 8 before I found out the truth. LOL

Quit yelling.


What if you don't have a basement but the white trash renters next door are going to spend the last week's pay on fireworks?

HE CANT BE HEARD OVER THE FIREWORKS :) unless he yells :) Some folks just dont care aobut yer dog. Cops dont even go on calls about fireworks here so what can you do other than take the dog to a safe place until it is over?

ah Ahumphers91a, how I remember your pain. One of my duty stations was in SLC and you guys have the opportunity to deal with wingnuts with fireworks twice this month. My sympathies are with you. Thank goodness, oh my heck, that the Wasatch Front this year is still too green to burn up.

My pup goes absolutely insane when a firework goes off.. Its not possible to keep her inside the house or she will run around in circles until I let her out in the yard.

This will be Gunther's first 4th of July so him and duke will come inside but we are so far out of town I don't think the dogs will have anything to worry about.

Throw some empty milk jugs and a couple of pieces of garden hose in their yard, call the county and say you smell a funky, foul odor near their house.

My 3 dogs just thinks it's a gun going off. They perk their ears up and look at me as if to say, "Is their something to retrieve or did you miss again?"

I live in Creek County, there is like a 50% chance they are cooking!

Our street is 2 blocks long, woods on one side. Very quiet, everyone gets along and mostly keeps to themselves. Except these idiots.

I remember the 24th was a state holiday and not a federal one, so alot of the natives were ticked off that they didn't get it off. Maybe if Mitt gets to be Pres we will.

I hate to be the "hater" here but be glad you get to see them. Fireworks for Independence Day are an American tradition. Where I live it is so dry and hot that the Sheriff has banned setting them off in the county and all the local towns have banned them in town. Some of the towns have even banned the selling of fireworks. Our office had to do a transport 100 miles back to Amarillo yesterday. The owner of the fireworks stand was not happy that he could not sell fireworks here and told the Sheriff he was not going to transport his fireworks all the way back to Amarillo so the Sheriff had a deputy load them up and haul them back down to Amarillo for the owner. :roll:

I don't care much for the Joe Schmoe idiot neighbor setting them off but a fireworks show organized by the fire department or local city government is always nice to take the kids to see. We won't even have that here. It is like living in Communist China out here. :(

Creek County? About the only good thing I can see about that is at least you don't live in McCurtain County. :lol:

Then you have weed fields and meth labs to deal with. :D
