I like July 4th, I really do. I like the fireworks. However working on July 4th makes me not like it because it is so hard on the dogs. It seems like this year there were lots of neighborhood fireworks, more than usual and they started earlier in the day (2-ish) and ended later than ever. I went to bed around 11pm and heard them after that. Driving after dark on July 4th is like driving Halloween night although last night there were as many dads out as kids. All standing in the middle of the road, their fireworks lined up (also in the middle of the road.) Me knowing that just a few houses down I have dogs that need to be walked so they can pee and hopefully poop (that did not happen.) Like the Band Perry Song where she says UGH with frustration, that was me. Thus my rant ends :) - I am glad that we are past July 4th.

Speedy and the turtles -they are all doing just fine! I just looked at Speedy's picture and that pile of hay looks huge. It is the angle... it really isn't THAT big. :)
Chester & Bailey - We've been taking a short "stroll" so they can pee / poop. Bailey would like to pick up the pace but we're taking it slow for Chester. By the time I'd gotten to your house this morning, I'd run out of coffee. Must find a bigger coffee mug!
Maisy and Gracie - Southpark fireworks last night and Gracie didn't want me to leave. I hated it for her. I tried to get the tv to turn on but I couldn't get it to come on. Looked for a radio too but didn't see one. She was fine this morning though. I gave her some extra lovin!
Lucky, Sweet Pea and Butter - They are doing well. I was at your house when the fireworks went off last night and they were both fine. I thought the fireworks were going to be canceled b/c of weather so I didn't give them any medication. They were just fine too. :) I was glad b/c when the skies cleared, I worried about them.
Henry and Sadie - they are both just fine. Sadie the little trickster trying to get me to feed her more. :) Henry snuck out the front door as I leaving late last night. I tried to get him and he took off. He was laying by the house this morning but didn't come back in until he came in with Sadie. Crazy cat!! I was worried about him being out all night. I will be more careful leaving at night to make sure he stays inside. He was inside when I left this morning.
Sweetie- When I got there last night and opened the sliding door to go out back, she would not go in the back yard. It was weird. She acted like she was in trouble. I leashed her up and walked her both visits. I am perplexed.
Baby - I think I woke her up this morning. She eventually appeared but she must've been sleeping!

Sadie and Henry - Sadie ran out to pee and then came right back in for breakfast. Henry just wanted to be outside. I tried to get him 2x and bring him in but he scooted away so he is outside. I fed the guinea pig and fish too.
Maisy and Gracie - they've greeted me at the door both visits. Maisy even let me pet her right away. We've spent part of our visits inside and part out in the yard.
Vivian and Ursa - they're eating well and enjoying their time outside. Actually I think Ursa is enjoying her time outside. I think Vivian prefers to be inside. :) Wesley is taking over their visits as of tonight so I won't be blogging anymore about them most likely.
Sparky - I will go by at dinner time today and put her inside since there will be fireworks tonight.
Speedy and the turtles - all is well!
Sweetie, Chester & Bailey, Baby, and Butter, Lucky and Sweet Pea - I will blog tomorrow morning.

Sparky - no storms yesterday. It did rain some in the afternoon but I left her out all day.
Mr Lucky Meow, Oh No, Squeakers - Just the boys again today. I gave them some lovin', fed them all and scooped the boxes. They'll be happy to see you!
Vivian and Ursa - They're doing just great. I've taken Vivian's thundershirt off. Hopefully it won't be stormy today. Your mail hasn't come yet. Saw your neighbor last night and she is on the lookout for it too.
Lucky, Rocky, Maddie and Cotton - The dogs were ready to go out this morning and the kitties were ready to eat! They're all doing well.
Maisy, Gracie, Henry and Sadie - will blog for first time about them tomorrow morning.

Wow.... July already. Lucky, Rocky, Maddie and Cotton - I had to go and look for the kitties my first visit yesterday. They were both sleeping. Usually they come running. The dogs are doing just fine too!
Scoobie - It was raining last night but Scoobie didn't care. We had our walk and I dried him off when we came in. He has been eating well while you've been gone but he tends to leave those bigger pieces off food so there are still a few left in the bowl.
Vivian and Ursa - Vivian in her thundershirt... too cute. I left it on her this morning. They're calling for 70% chance of rain and some storms so I thought I'd be safe and leave it on.
Mr Lucky Meow, Oh No and Squeakers - the boys are being very social and they are loving my attention. Squeakers is still hiding out but she is eating well!
Sparky - I put Sparky in the house yesterday at dinner time. I'm really glad I did. It stormed with some bad lightning. She is out this morning and I'll keep an eye on the skies.
Speedy and the turtles - they're all just fine!

Butter, Lucky & Sweet Pea - we took a nice long walk this morning. Yesterday we walked and they spent some time in the yard too. Must've been a chipmunk or something back there b/c a couple of times they went running off over by the wood pile. Scoobie - the lock worked just fine this morning. Perhaps it was human error last night. :( Scoobie is doing well. He is eating all of his breakfast and dinner and enjoying his walks.
Sparky - I was laughing at her last night. She greeted me with her nose all wrinkled up and if I didn't know her I'd wonder if she was mad. She looks kind of mean when she does it but it makes me laugh. She was happy to see me and I was happy to see her!
Mr Lucky Meow, Oh No and Squeakers - still no Squeakers sighting but she is eating well. They all ate well last night - their bowls were empty. The boys liked the kind of food I opened this morning too, they both started eating right away. If the bowls are empty when I go back this afternoon (I don't think they will be) but if they are, I will leave a little more food out.
Speedy and the turtles - they are all doing well.
