Yesterday, we got up late, did a little work around then house, and then my parents and all their pups (except Oreo, who doesn't like long car trips) came up for dinner The dogs played some, but mostly just layed around. We set up the wading pool, and Sadie had a blast in it, but no one would join her

After they left, we watched the Boston Pops Fireworks on TV and the few locally we could see from our living room ( I think they were neighbors with "illegals"!) The dogs did so great, and Cincy, who was scared to death last year, actually sat at the window and watched!!!


Tonight we are getting together with my husband's family. The dogs should have 3 doggy cousins to play with as well as some human children too! If the weather cooperates wthey may even get to swim in grandma's pool!

Of course I was lucky enough to get off work early, so I did a few things in the house and was waiting for our friends to come over (we were going to go to the fireworks), and all of a sudden it got really, really dark and we had a terrible storm I thought (or should I say "hoped") it would quit raining in time for the fireworks...no such luck. It rained all night and is still raining right now
Oh well, I can be thankful I live in a free country where I have the right to do whatever I want, whenever I want....that's what the 4th of July is all about anyway!
Hope the rest of you had a great day

Glad you got your swimming in Cinder and Smoke!! Our pups got to do some swimming too at Grandma's yesterday. They have an above groud pool, with no doggy ramp, or even a very good place to jump in off of, so we had to lift the girls in and out, but they loved it just the same! Spot took one turn and that was enough for him

I think Huney's dancing for rain this weekend, for no fireworks, and more importantly to get it all out the way before NEXT weekend!!!
