My first hub and I had a blonde Afghan hound way back when, who was petrified of the fireworks on the 4th. One year we took her with us over to the brother-in-law's house. Once the fireworks started, she ran to hide in his garage, knocking an opened can of marine oil all over her. I had to wash her every day for nearly a month until I finally got all the gook totally off of her. Marine oil is THICK and an Afghan's hair is like a duck - you could stand her under a hose for ten minutes,...

suzi

my other two dogs i've had have been SO afraid of the noise and the fireworks
i did do training with her and one of the things she had to pass was not spooking at some loud noises
she passed

i guess it's also like one of those things where the beauty wins over the 'fraidy/scardy-cat' part

like having a fear of heights but riding the ski lift and focusing on the VIEW...

What an awesome pup! Fireworks is one thing that dogs have a hard time tolerating, my old german shepherd, Teddy, used to go berserk to get into the house and our four year old, Daisy, hides under one of the beds.

Kehli Hope I get to meet you one day soon!

No telling how long he has had that boat and keeps adding additions to it. Lots of grills and coolers ... he is ready. I think it is very cool. Not sure about safe, but definitely cool!

Yeah, that thing is so hysterical. It's a pontoon boat, all rigged up, and it's got one 35 horse-power engine! I like that ladder taken from a pool on the back too. What a gas!

I hear ya on the heat factor...and there are wayyy too many skeeters and no-see-ums, too. We watch the neighbors' displays, looking out the window from our couch.

Omg!! Love the PVC penthouse....hahahaha

We're about to grill hamburgers and we've got the ice cream freezer going....and going....and not freezing the vanilla cream liquid inside anytime soon. Then we'll watch The Capital Fourth. That has become a tradition for us. Too dang hot to go outside.

Dan and I went out early in the boat today, and did a little snorkeling, hoping to beat the crowds. And we did. YAY! Driving down to Boca Grande in the Intracoastal Waterway, we passed one of our favorite boats, if that's what you can call it....Dan calls it the Redneck Elks Club, but if you look closely over the doorway, you can see that the owners call it the Redneck Yacht Club. All decked out with their 4th of July flag...

And now for my favorite 4th of July quote:

We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights,
that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

It seems to me like it could have been written this morning or thousands of years ago.
