That night, the family partied in one of the houses near us. It was the only night it wasn`t quiet. Since it was a vacation, I understood. The rental house was huge, with several decks on the second floor and was perfect for celebration. Fortunately, there were no fireworks sounds. It`s just too dangerous in the hot, dry pine forest. He also urges anyone who wishes to report illegal fireworks not to call 911. Bend Fire and Rescue warns that people caught lighting fireworks will face a $750 fine. My only goal was to escape the terrifying fireworks during the fourth of July in the community where I lived. But what I discovered was a luxury dog-friendly retreat in the peaceful pine forests of Sunriver, Oregon, and a week of relaxation, recreation, and partying. Sunriver, Oregon, was an ideal refuge for a “dogcation.” While I`ve reached my goal of a fourth (and quiet dog) without fireworks, I want to return without dogs to explore the hiking trails, go to the High Desert Museum, canoe in the Deschutes River, and experience the farm-to-table culinary scene in the Bend area. Until this year, my community allowed personal fireworks during the fourth of July.
Fireworks enthusiasts dropped them off a week before the fourth and continued with the crack, boom and bam until they came out a few days after the holidays. Due to the ban, there is no sale of fireworks in Bend. While nearby communities that don`t have a ban have the well-known fireworks tents, the city says it`s illegal to light those fireworks in Bend. “Asking the community to give up a personal fireworks display may seem like a lot after such a difficult year, but the risk of fire this year is the worst we`ve seen in decades,” he said.

Bend City officials are encouraging residents and visitors to enjoy the pilot butte fireworks show Monday night instead of lighting their own fireworks. And they remind people that there is a city-wide ban on fireworks. They don`t allow fireworks in Sunriver, so I almost forgot about the holidays. But on the morning of the fourth, I heard fire and police sirens and wanted to investigate. So I kept Cinnamon on a leash (Francesca had gone back to bed after her morning walk) and went to the village of Sunriver. You will also be reminded to have a water source handy when you light fireworks. Light them on gravel or on a paved road; and have them turned on only by adults.

When I unloaded and filled the fridge, it was time to have a glass of wine on deck. The sun penetrated through the pine trees, people quietly walked their dogs on paths in the distance, and there was absolutely no sound of fireworks. The smell of hot pine needles took me back to past summers. If you feel the need to report that someone is setting off fireworks, don`t call 911 unless they`ve caused a fire or injured someone.

I enjoyed walking the paved paths of Sunriver for a few days, and noticed that the dogs wanted to run freely. While this wasn`t possible at Sunriver because the coonhounds love to hunt squirrels, chipmunks, and deer, I had read that Bend had excellent dog parks. I found something in Bend that seemed ideal. It was located in NE Bend and was part of pine nursery community park. Sunriver is a tranquil community with a unique environment that we believe you will find refreshing.

The next day we drove north and stopped in Bend at Bob Wegner Memorial Dog Park for one last race. The dogs got tired slightly as the sun warmed the volcanic rock. They were ready to go home in the air-conditioned car. It was a beautiful road north with a snow-capped mountain range to my left and Mount Hood looming in front of me.
