   Yes I'm with you on that one. I have a dog stuck to my leg, another one cowering in the hallway, 4 cats that have gone spastic and a baby that keeps getting woken up.     |

   One of our cats doesn't care but the other is a quivering mess so I have put him in our walk in wardrobe with his bed.  She has gone back to sleep now but some more have just started again so she'll probably scream again soon...

   Thankfully Ollie slept through it, or if he did wake he didn't say a peep. And our cat actually wanted to go outside! Crazy. In saying that our neighbourhood was pretty good and it was over by about 10pm.
 Yeah we get good views over Hamilton so don't have to spend any money on fireworks ourselves    |

   LittleMiss Catherine slept through the lot.  Dogs barking, fireworks going, she must have been exhausted.  
 Hope that the mummies and bubbas managed a sleepin this morning to compensate.

   we live right by the beach so have the fireworks on the pier to worry our animals.  i locked the catflap and made sure we had the tv up a little louder to hide the bangs.  the dog is always inside anyway
 i took jack down to the beach to watch them and he loved it!  dean stayed home with charli, who slept through it all (then woke like usual at 12.30am  )
 we have a few people in the area that let them off at home, which is fine with me as long as it doesn't go on all night.  mostly was over with by 10.30pm

   The gremlins were too sick to care what was going on, but Miss Maya perched on her windowsill in the dark to watch fireworks until about 9pm when she got up to inform Willie and I that she was "bored of the fireworks, I'm going to sleep now." 
And here was us thinking she'd gone to sleep at 7.30pm!
