Disappointed that there will be fireworks as that means we cannot see the stsrt of the choir as our dog will be too terrified . Im not the only dog owner who wont be able to attend as my dog will be traumatised under the bed for a few hours….
A short firework display is by no means harrowing.
We have 4 dogs and plug in relaxing air fresheners do just fine with ours.
They might use silent fireworks – how do you know?
You can’t just expect loud fireworks and complain when you don’t know the details.
This year we shall be opening the shop till later showing all our christmas Holly wreaths, door garlands and holly balls. We shall be running a raffle in aid of WINGS. Also any sales over £5 will earn a return voucher for January with a 10%off offer.
