The Chinese & Vietnamese Year of the Snake begins Sunday 13th January & I expect there will be plenty of fireworks despite laws & total fire bans. In my area probably much closer to home than there was during the Gregorian New Year (Daylight Savings Adjusted). That was pretty bad, the bitch next door escaped from a locked shed & came over to hide in our shed!?!
After various moving around & close encounters of the first kind between her & my cat and a long period of quiet I eventually left her tied up on the front verandah of her place. When I was on my way to check on her later some jerks let off crackers a few houses away & she leapt over the railing into the garden. If the rope had been shorter she would have hung herself. Is the contribution of crackers to a celebration really worth torturing & terrifying animals including young children?
