Well, I had my very first Fourth of July today.. it was fun! We went over to a friend’s house, and there were lots and lots of people there, and a couple little dogs who didn’t really want to talk to me very much. Then, a dog my size named Marshall came, and we got to be tied to the same tree, so we played lots, and then laid down together for awhile. I also got to watch Nate and some of the guys play Koob – I really wanted to join in, but they wouldn’t let me.
After it started getting dark, we walked over to the St. Louis Park fireworks show.. there were tons of people there that I got to meet. I didn’t mind the noise of the fireworks too much, but the combination of the fireworks and all the people cheering was kind of overwhelming.. eventually I just laid down by Nate and Tiff, and Nate covered my ears and Tiff petted me – that was much better. After the show, we took a long walk back to the house (we were trying to avoid people, and ended up going a mile or so out of the way).. I was tired afterwards!
I think I’ll like this again next year.. maybe by then I will have learned enough to be off-leash the whole time!
