4th of July
We had a long stretch of no going to work days. On Saturday we went to Katie's parents and visited Penny. Roberta and Jeff, and Diane and Ed were there too. Penny and I played all the time. It was great. She didn't want me touching her toys, which was fine, or her bone, which I chewed on when she wasn't looking. Roberta gave us treats. Sometimes she acted like she was going to give us treats, but didn't have any. That was less nice. Katie and Joe had a futon to sleep on. I'm allowed on futons, so I tried to sleep on it too. For some reason, we had to pretend that this futon was a bed and I wasn't allowed on it. Whenever I could, I would sit on it instead of the floor.
We came home on Sunday, and Joe was very busy and Katie was gone for the day. After having so many people to hang out with, that was a let down. Also, there were lots of fireworks.
Monday there were many people again though. It was the 4th of July. All the people almost makes up for it being the worst day of the year. I got some pieces of hot dog that Aden dropped, and Jody played with me. There were people to bark at. I didn't like the fireworks though. Everyone left, and then there were even more fireworks. They left the door open to the basement, and I remembered that you don't hear the fireworks in the basement, so I went down there. Oh, I didn't get a walk in the evening, or to go off leash in the morning. The morning was a weird walk. We went to a parade. There were people with drums, and trash cans, and a fire truck. I barked at them. The bagpipe player was okay though. There were two bands. I saw some other dogs from the cemetery. Then we walked home. I had hoped to go to the cemetery, but it was closed. After Katie and Joe got home in the evening, they wanted me to go outside again. I thought they were crazy. There were explosions everywhere. Katie got some cheese out of the refridgerator, and I really wanted some. She went outside with it, which was obnoxious. I followed her and she'd give me some, over and over, so I did that until the cheese ran out, then I ran back inside. We went to bed after that.
