Relaxing after the 4th

A glorious 4th with blue skies, a heavenly 73° at parade time becoming quite breezy later in the day as we relaxed on the patio after friends departed from the cookout and while the little ones played with their friends in the neighborhood.

Grace also enjoyed the 4th, observing the parade of people up and down the sidewalk to town from her comfortable position on the back of the sofa. At curbside Grace watched the parade only barking at a couple dogs in the parade. When two sheep and a Shetland pony, yes this is a small community, marched past, Grace sniffed the air trying to detect whether they were new species of canines then continued watching the colorful, interesting array as it passed her. The various fireworks heard during the day and at night had no affect on her. What a true joy to finally have a Westie that does not tremble with fear during fireworks or thunderstorms, not that we have many sever thunderstorms in this area.
