fireworks

Every dog has it's day, and it looks like the dogs at Fireworks Festival 2012 are having the best day of their lives'. What could be better than spending the afternoon and evening with their owners and fellow mutts playing, running, and watching a beautiful fireworks show? Nothing. And if these pics prove anything, it's that the dog days of summer should be more like this one.

When I was a kid, there were very few things I looked forward to more than the Fourth of July. I got to be around my friends, family and, of course, watch the fireworks. There was nothing cooler than the fireworks when I was little! As I got older and older, I would try to get closer and closer to the fireworks to see if they would actually fall on me.

Here’s a fact that should shock absolutely no one. A survey conducted by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission indicates that most fireworks-related injuries take place during or around the Fourth of July holiday festivities.

Forget about the dawn’s early light, this Fourth of July is all about the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air and maybe even a couple of spiders. Those are the ones that, well, look kind of like a spider, anyway.

Most of us love firework shows and think that we are capable of putting on some dazzling displays for our friends and neighbors.
