It's 10pm where I am now.
I'm reasonably new to this town - it's a small, quiet touristy area.
Every week or two, fireworks go off... understandable over Halloween Xmas and NYE and NY, etc However this has happened since early august (no less often than every fortnight) and has been a nightmare to be frank.
Made worse by the fact that I'm pretty sure it's the tourists in local holiday accomodation, so it's not like I can really speak to them about it.
I have a dog. He's terrified of fireworks. He will try to escape the house, so as such we (on special occasions when we expect it) keep him in one of the bedrooms, normally ours, with all windows shut (he will try to jump out) and the door locked. He remains pretty calm, but hides under the bed. The other thing we do (if we aren't able to stay in the bedroom with him or have to nip out) is place him in the shower with his toys, bed and food. It's not ideal but he remains calm and doesn't escape so that's a plus.
In mid October an unexpected firework from the beach (across the street) meant that the dog tried to jump out of the window, damaging the fly screens and narrowly avoiding injury as Dh was able to grab him in the nick of time.
Back at the start of December at about 4pm (not the usual time for fireworks I'm sure most can agree) fireworks started going. It was completely unexpected.
Dog jumped from the verandah and thankfully unscathed (the vet was surprised)
So I'm understandably really worried and it's causing me to become quite anxious.
Aibu to find this really irritating? There isn't much I can do especially if it's not continuous and very late at night but honestly it's making me a bit miserable
think I just want to rant
