July 4th Weekend

July 26th, 2009

Deary Diary,

Wow pretty much sums up my thoughts on the weekend!

Friday started out as a regular day. My mom and I went for a walk and cleaned up the house when my friend Matt showed up with coffee (smelly!) for my mom. We were all hanging out and my mom had just put me in my harness when we heard a knock at the door. Matt went to see who it was and next thing I knew my harness was taken off me and I was being put in my cage. My grandfather had made a surprise visit and took my mom and Matt out for lunch. I freaked out! I was barking so loud I am sure my mom felt guilty all through lunch. I mean what a tease! Put me in the harness and never even take me outside. Ugh!

Once they returned I was beyond happy. I kept jumping at my grandfathers legs and each time he would say good dog and pat my head therefore I thought it was a good idea to keep jumping at his legs. Guess I was wrong because after many jumps at my grandfathers legs my mom came and picked me up. My grandfather left and then Matt left but my aunt and my roommate were now at the house.

We all napped but soon I heard music playing. They only play music when they are getting ready to go out so I knew this was not looking good. I got to help them pick out outfits, if I didn’t like something I would grab it and run away, it was funny to me but not to them. For the second time of the day I got put in my wall too small cage and freaked out. Luckily they came not too much later. First my roommate arrived with Matt and some other people. My roommate took me for a walk thank god because I was about to pee all over the floor. I knew it was late because it was so dark outside and no one was on the streets. Then my mom and my aunt and another friend came home. I jumped all over my mom and instead of biting her nose I scratched her face by accident. Sorry mom but I have claws…

Saturday was a holiday my mom told me. We were all very tired from our late Friday night so we didn’t do much but sleep. Once again I woke up to music playing. I was so scared I was about to be put back in my damn cage but I was wrong. Matt and his friend Ethan came over with a lot of food and drinks that made everyone really funny after they had a few.

I got to sit outside on the front patio with them all night. A lot of other people came by, even my auntie showed up. Matt’s friend, Ethan, kept letting me try the food that they had grilled. It was amazing but my belly is making very weird noises today. My mom picked me up when her best friend Victor arrived and he kept yelling something that made my mom crack up laughing. My aunt, my roommate, my mom, Victor and me walked around the corner and then I started to hear really loud noises and there were all these bright lights in the sky. It was so loud but really cool to watch. My moms friend Alice showed up half way through and sat next to me during the noises and lights were happening. My mom held me the whole time because there were so many people on the streets and was scared I would get hurt.

After all the noise stopped we went back to the patio where Matt, Ethan, Kris, and Seth were. We all hung out outside together and I had a lot of fun. So far this is the first and only pet friendly holiday I have experienced. I am exhausted today and my belly hurts from all the steak I ate off of Kris’s plate when he wasn’t looking but it’s worth the pain.

My conclusion is that the Fourth of July is great for us dogs!!

Write to you tomorrow. Think I am going to Newport tomorrow but not sure. I will keep you posted.

Happy fourth of July!

xoxo

PS- How cool would it be if they (the people who made the noise and lights happen) did this on the fourth of every month and we (dogs) could party outside with our family and eat all of their food! A dog can dream… right?
