On the one hand, the 4th of July happens roughly once a year, so I should take it as a responsible adult and just make sure my dogs make it through the day. On the other hand, I can't help myself. I hope everyone who lights fireworks suffers a minor injury. Nothing life-threatening.
The only thing that makes my day better, other than a large supply of Swifter Wet to clean after the shaking dogs, is watching fireworks accidents videos.

I hate July 4th for similar reasons, my dogs go nuts and my kids constantly wake up because of the neighbor's fireworks. Nah, I don't think it makes you an America-hater.
And this year was an extended weekend of this nightmare. Even at this hour I hear some leftovers. My dogs are sleeping through it, though. They've had a rough weekend.
you hate the 4th?
yes.
yes, you hate freedom.
in fact, this means you are a communist bastard.
can't wait for your Christmas Post.
Good grief, it's one day a year. An important day for people to celebrate freedom. The freedom that gives you the right to wish people get hurt. Do you honestly believe your dogs having one difficult day a year is more important than celebrating one's right to vote, one's right to express themselves themselves, one's right to better their station in life?
Give your dogs half a baby aspirin and chill out. There are probably lots of countries your dogs wouldn't have to put up with people having the right to celebrate.
Dogs in my neighborhood wake me up and irritate me almost everyday, does that mean I hate dogs NO, so you shouldn't hate the 4th of July our Nations Birthday because it's a bother to your dogs.
Have a nice day, because of our freedom's you have the right to
Anonymous, Christmas is quiet. I like Christmas.
Sandy, it's more than one day because my neighbors have leftovers. And how does lighting your butt on fire celebrate freedom? I assume you can't do that in a Taliban cave or in a North Korean synchronized dancing hall, but really, that's not where freedom starts and ends.
And if my neighbors' dogs woke me up every day, I also wouldn't be angry at the dogs. But I might scratch their owners' cars.
Wait a second! Maybe I'm just an asshole!
I serve in the United States Army and I think that your minor inconvenience is a pathetically stupid reason to despise a holiday that memorializes the men and women who stood to make this nation free over 230 years ago. If you don't like it at least come up with a more meaningful reason to despise the day we celebrate our nation's independence!
The men and women did not stand for the rights of people to get drunk and blow their butts open (I think they were actually allowed to do that in ol' England). But maybe they did stand for the rights of people to write how much they didn't like firecrackers in the middle of the night.
I agree with those who consider the fireworks a nuisance. We are still hearing bottle rockets and firecrackers-it's July 24 for pete's sake!! These guys can blow it out their ass! No really, what makes people do this sort of thing?!
You know, Micgar, you'd think by some of these comments here that if you can't stick a firecracker in your butt the terrorists have won.
