Today is a day the humans celebrate their hard fought independence from Great Britain back in the 1700's. Daddy put the flag out in honor those who have fought to keep our country free and to protect the ideals we hold dear. The Founding Fathers wrote that people had the right to "...life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." But for me, it's "...life, liberty and the pursuit of biskees!"
It's a day to relax, like I am. Daddy did a lot of yard work this morning. Katie is on patrol as usual and is supervising in the garden. I tried a strawberry the other day while Aunt Pat had her back turned. I got my nose under the mesh wrap she put over the plants and got a nice juicy one. It was worth getting "no'"d at.
Chloe is still looking for that rabbit. So far she's only found a couple of chipmunks and a McDonald's Double Cheeseburger wrapper that she pulled through the fence. Aunt Pat couldn't believe how many calories were in it! Um, the double cheeseburger, not the wrapper. She'd never knowingly eat paper. She doesn't know what she's missing! She stopped me from eating a tissue she had on the table to kill a fly in, but I've eaten a couple of paper napkins. Chloe has chewed a photo holder-the thing you get the photos back from the lab in, as well as a picture of her and Daddy's parents when they stood up at a relative's wedding. When we lived at our old house, she chewed a couple of Daddy's old baseball cards. She chews when the humans aren't home. I think
There will be fireworks tonight locally. Katie gets very frightened of loud noises, so she'll probably have to have her thunderstorm medicine. It's the Anixiety TFLN, and Daddy got it from the Vet's office. It works better than the last stuff we tried. The other medicine helped her anxiety, but it took a little while to work, plus Katie slept a lot afterward. This medicine works faster, calms her down, and she isn't as wobbly after taking it like she was on the other medication.
Daddy's going to cook hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill tonight. You can bet we'll be under, er right by the table to make sure any spills are cleaned up quickly.
