Perhaps only predictable to me , then !I mean in the animal pics thread, this thread, other one I can't remember title of.

Gardening gloves are good. I think I just know how to pick them up-have never been hurt by one.

On bonfire night I try to make sure my cat and dog are in the house away from the noises that scare them, but it is really difficult to protect your pets when thoughtless people let fireworks off on other days.

You know, Kya is not bothered AT ALL by them. To a weird extent . Hardly raises an ear. Other noises she is like any other dog, straight off to investigate but not with fireworks. I guess it's much better than her being scared so I don't mind!

I wish I knew who was responsible for it....I'm sure it isn't legal.

Between 7 am and 11pm, I think it is illegal to use fireworks. I could be wrong I'm not the oracle on it but I *think* so . It scares me that any member of the public over 18 can easily get their hands on them, any time of year from a licensed establishment. I'm a bit biased though I guess, I've never liked fireworks.
