Happy Birthday, USA!

Hooray! This was the best Independence Day ever! Boudreaux and I had company over for a holiday barbecue. Well, really mom and dad did but we got the benefit! There were three little girls (dad’s nieces) who were messy eaters! We got to vacuum up mac and cheese, hot dog, baked beans and cake off the floor. We say invite them over some more!

Afterwards, we took a long nap before the fireworks started. Boudreaux is not so fond of fireworks but I don’t pay them much attention. We went to downtown Houston to see the big Shell fireworks display. Uncle Chad just happened upon the perfect spot for fireworks viewing. The humans got out their chairs and cooler and set up right on the sidewalk. Then, the show started. It was like we were seeing them in 3D! When they burst in mid-air, we could literally feel the paper and debris hitting us where we stood on the ground. It was truly bow-wow-beautiful! We came home exhausted but very happy that we are American dogs, that we get to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Thanks to the Troops for keeping it that way!

Baroo, for now! Time for a nap.
