Independance Day


So, it is Independence Day! What does that mean? I have no idea! I hope you all enjoy it though. I think dogs might get extra scraps of food at BBQ's. Careful, they are hot right off the grill. There were not as many peeps or dogs around today. I sort of felt like I needed to stay close to my person anyway so I did not mind. Down at the river we saw little Bobby that I met the other day. He was playing with Pixie from Dixie with the cow bell. Those 2 youngins' seem to have hit it off. They were having a blast. I went over to say hi but I felt like staying near my person. We went to the beach and I went in and got a drink. I did not even lay down in the water. Elka came by and let everyone know she was in charge. We left soon after and walked alone for a long time. My person and me. I had a moment where I wished I could hold her hand like our girl does sometimes when they walk. OK I finally realize one advantage to walking on 2 legs. Hand holding. Bobby, Pixie and Elka were walking behind us and I could hear playing, snarling, barking, running etc. I stayed with my person today. At one point Bobby's person asked my person if I was really well trained because I did not leave her side. Finally, someone who sees my loyalty and does not call me a mamma's boy. We saw Niles and Caber and together we all walked out of the park. Bobby tried to get my persons walking stick from her so he could play with it. She was not giving the stick up! Anyway, it was a doggie party of me, Bobby, Pixie, Elka, Caber and Niles. Good dogs all! I am off to the back yard to nap before the rain comes.
Happy 4th of July!
