Thank you very much for your comments. ...Dear Sue,<br /><br />Thank you very much for your comments. I agree with everything you say. I think we can only hope that one day the pendulum will swing back again and people will wake up and realise what we have become and throw out the people who are perpetrating the nonsense.<br /><br />Regarding your dog, I am so sorry that he suffers so much over fireworks. I have a dog myself, and though she does get restless when fireworks are going off, she can usually be reassured. I don't know what to suggest, you seem to have tried everything. Earplugs? <br /><br />And I had no idea that people torture black cats at Hallowe'en. It is hard to understand that, as it is hard to understand so much of what goes on in this country today.<br /><br />Best wishes<br />PriscillaPriscillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02345798964536092776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471625461616294528.post-51199592511036390692009-11-15T17:57:47.936+00:002009-11-15T17:57:47.936+00:00Hi Priscilla
I've enjoyed visiting your Blog....Hi Priscilla<br /><br />I've enjoyed visiting your Blog. I found it when I was looking for an Ogden Nash quote.<br /><br />Guy Fawkes and Hallowe'en are festivals I dread. I wouldn't mind fireworks being set off on one night, but they start in mid October and continue until January, and I am completely unable to control the hysterical barking of my terrified dog. I've tried a Vet prescribed medicine, herbal biscuits, homeopathy and nothing works. <br /><br />As for Hallowe'en, I have a black cat, and they are at risk over that period. Some cats are tortured and suffer horrific injuries at Hallowe'en.<br /><br />The extended Guy Fawkes period and the risk to cats, especially black cats at Hallowe'en, is a symptom of a changed England. <br /><br />In Yesterday's England, ordinary decent people would not pass by a distressed child without offering help. Neither would they stand and watch a 7yr old drowning in a pond and make no attempt at rescue. <br /><br />Things have changed, and I wish we could turn the clock back. It seems to me that the officialdom regard everyone as 'guilty by default'. When my daughter was in College, they were not allowed to refer to 'black' trousers. The 'correct' term was 'dark' trousers. There are so many silly rules like that which we are completely unaware of, that we break them in all innocence and someone gets upset.<br /><br />How did we get to this mad place? And how will we ever get out of it to return to the down-to-earth, sensible, honourable and decent place England once was?<br /><br />I wish I knew.<br /><br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11595455669567650259noreply@blogger.com
