Worked over last night and was really late getting in i feed my dog which is a Jack Russell and is the most friendly dog in the whole of the UK .

Other dogs will bark at it,and it just wags its tail near children its joyful and lick lick licking.

When it eats it goes out for a walk to near by woods fields depending on what time and how dark it is ,we just got out of the drive and a loud explosion went off it was of course it a firework it was no where near the dog but she hates them and the noise terrifies her even if it is obvious no where near us i guess dogs must be able to judge distance when they hear and she must know its not in the vicinity and no immediate threat, but every time she does a roundabout turn and heads for the safety of her bed or home

No amount of comforting petting or kind words will get her to carry on with her walk.This was about 9:00pm midnight i am sat in bed and realized i never took her back out i had no choice but to get dressed and let her go for a walk she was suppose to go on earlier.

I also found out tonight that a old guy down on the allotments had fireworks thrown into his pigeon coup this man who is well in to retirement and lives for his pigeons he attends to them daily is down there at first light letting them fly feeding them and mucking out and general digging, planting, reaping and sowing and another 101 things in the day to day up keep of his allotment plot this is in sun rain wind hail what ever the weather.

Now the idiot or idiots thugs delinquents who did this might have shortened a old mans life no doubt he is in terrible shock, and from what i have been told a few of his birds have died as a result of this action so why cant fireworks be banned and if people want to celebrate the act of a terrorist then let them at official displays.,

His biggest worry now is this going to happen again this year if not next year and so on he cant live down there 24/7 and he knows as soon as its unguarded then there is a window of opportunity for it to happen again.

If we do ban the sale of fireworks ,mini bombs perhaps no more cruelty to animals or pets will occur neither will any child suffer as a result of burns and mindless pranks.........
