  I love my dogs but I haven’t actually laughed out loud at a thing I saw on the Internet in so long but this did if

  Small dogs are tiny demons sent to prepare us for hell

    My tiny dog is shockingly not like this

    Quiet, very rarely barks, first instinct when meeting a new person is to roll over for belly rubs, and quite smart and well behaved all round

    Best dog I could’ve asked for

      I think the reason big dogs are usually more calm is because people take an effort to train them, because a 120 pound lab that wont listen and barks all the time is a problem.

      Little dogs get away with growling yapping barking and being agressive because its “cute”. You’re just the kind of owner who will encourage their little dog to have manners, and it works.

  I love the dog; I hate the yapping. I love the fireworks; I FUCKING hate how they scare the poor thing.

  If people weren’t such assholes, it would be a cultural thing to have a designated area where everyone could shoot off their fireworks. Instead, people shoot them off whenever they please in their neighborhood, and they all get banned if the local authorities have the power, and people STILL shoot them off whenever they please because who is going to still be outside by the time the fucking brain dead cops come around.

  Could you imagine if people would get together to shoot off their fireworks? A party of 10 would put the average paid for fireworks display to shame, and there’s going to be loads more than 10 people in your average area that would be shooting off fireworks. Too bad we can’t have nice things because ‘cunt, cunt, rumble, rumble, I’m so fiercely independent, engine rev, engine rev.’

    Professional fireworks shows exist and are often free of charge

      Nah, anyone who has ever shot off their own fireworks knows that professional shows are idiotic. It is incredibly more fun to light your own, scramble back, and watch it blow. It’s not even a comparison. It’s the difference between watching a movie on the original gameboy instead of an imax theater. If you never had the chance to do it as a kid, don’t deprive your kids of the fun.

      We just need a place that’s available for folks, relatively safe in not being a fire risk, and is NOT in a neighborhood or near ranches/farms, although I bet the county/city could rent a rancher’s field or pay enough to relocate the cattle for a few nights. Pay for a few busses, and you’ve got a slick set up.

      It’s the same argument as with illicit drugs. Ban it, and people are just going to seek it out on their own. Regulate it, and you can start playing with all sorts of scenarios. How far would education go in reducing the amount of suddenly splayed hands that emergency rooms have to see? How many fires and traumatized folks/animals would suddenly no longer have to hear it if you encourage it to happen elsewhere instead of simply attempting to forbid it? You could offer a free mortar round to anyone taking a safety briefing before entering the fireworks grounds, or free ice cream for fifteen minutes of fire watch duty on the edges and/or any other prosocial activities you could get kids and teens up to.

    I live near a sanctioned place like you want and people still bitch about them. “But my little woofie!”, lady the city has used this spot for 40+ years, you moved in 3 months ago. Not their fault.

    When people do this, they’re still shooting off fireworks in your neighborhood, I don’t get how this is much different from a single family shooting some off. One of my dogs gets scared that night, but he’s perfectly fine the next day. I’ve always been a firm believer in the dogs being able to persist through a night of loud noises and have no issue with fireworks, whether or not I’m participating.

  Little yapping dickheads are usually the ones launching fireworks next to residences

  I don’t like pets nor fireworks. Never understood the urges to own a living being or to transform money into a loud noise with colorful effects for no apparent benefit 😁

  Pic made ne giggle tho. Despite it being sad the poor Lil shits have to endure this day of noise (here it starts in the morning and ends late the other day. Only being excessive at midnight). Not only them, but many people with some specific mental illnesses too.

      They’re equally noise-sensitive, ironically :)

  Dogs look to their humans for appropriate reactions. I was raised around very large dogs, but volunteered at an ASPCA while I was in college and all the small dogs were sweet as pie with me. Also delivered pizza to a Hispanic family that had a deer head Chihuahua that didn’t bark or even try and run out the door when they left it open to go grab cash. Even did that downward dog yoga pose and yawned before laying down.
