Here it is the 7th of July. The 4th was 3 days ago. We decide to go ahead and take Sadie out front to work on some retrieving exercises for her water title and what happens? We hadn’t gotten off the front porch when the people 2 houses down from us start blowing up fireworks.

Of course this freaks Sadie out, as well as our Pyr, Ursa, who is in the house and now she doesn’t want to do anything but get back into the house. Wonderful, an evenings work out the door before we even get started.

Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good evening of blowing up fireworks as much as the next guy but on the 4th of July, not on the 7th. I get rather tired of that and now we have to deal with getting Ursa to come out from in the closet as well as hoping that tomorrow Sadie will have forgotten and want to go out front.

We thought we had avoided that whole scene this year as we decided to go out of town for the 4th of July weekend and had put the pups into a kennel we use all the time that is in city limits where fireworks can not be shot off. I guess we forgot about the other days around the 4th being a problem as well.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
