Fourth of July

Humans celebrate a lot of holidays.  I like Thanksgiving because I get turkey and mashed potatoes.  I like Christmas because I get presents.  I do not like the Fourth of July.  There are noisy fireworks.  Today we slept in.  Jean decided to take me for a nice walk.  We went to the trails and headed out.  We could hear firecrackers.  They were very loud and scary.  I kept trying to hide in the weeds.  The leaves kept sticking to my collar.  After about two and a half minutes I turned around and pulled Jean back to the car.  I had enough and wanted to go home.  I couldn't get out of there fast enough.  It was the shortest walk ever.  Last year I was in Idaho with TJ and Pat on the Fourth of July.  Two years ago I was in Jen and John's back yard with Charlie and I climbed the 6 foot fence and ran down the street.  Three years ago TJ and Pat took me to a firework display at Rend Lake and I tried to hide under the chair.  I will be happy when this day is over.
