Oh boy was it noisy around HERE last night! Mom and Dad were gone for HOURS next door at a cookout then all of those folks came to our yard for fireworks…….tons of them……big boomers and little boomers and some pretty stuff too! Then the real noise started just when all of those people in my yard went home – – – – just about everyone in the neighborhood began THEIR fireworks and there were more this year than EVER!
BOOM! BANG! WHOOOSH! POP! SCREECH!
It was amazingly noisy. Where was I during all of that? In the garage………of all places I decided to hang out and feel safe during all the noise it was the garage I wanted to be in – not the basement or my tent! Mom couldn’t figure it out.
So anyway, all of that is over with and to make up for putting me through that pure torture, I get EXTRA bacon this morning! Whew! I deserve it!
BACON!
Did you have loud noisy fireworks where you are???? Do you have to hide when you hear all the noise or are you brave?!
“A Capitol Fourth” !
I think I’m going to need lots of naps today – – – my usual sleep schedule was thrown off by the fireworks………….AND Mom and Dad not being home……….today will be a day of rest (and bacon).

Sammy, in spite of all the noise and disorder around your house….you made it and just in time for the all out Bacon Caturday. Wooopee…I love bacon too.

I only heard a few, Sammy, but they had me completely confused. Motor Mommy tried to calm me by putting me on the bed (beside Motor Man) and covering me with my “blankie”, but I was having no part of it. Thankfully, it was just a few booms by neighbors – we’re too far away from the big stuff to hear it!
Happy Bacon Caturday! Enjoy your extra naps today.

They must have had a major sale on fireworks this year because we had TONS more this year than ever too. So many that I sat on our balcony and filmed some and posted them on Facebook. I was NOT amused. Poor Dakota was about to lose his mind, even with the windows shut and the TV blasting. Cody couldn’t have cared less, he watches them and isn’t bothered a bit by them.

I bet you were a little frightened, poor Sammy. Our city blew up the night sky and also lit up our local bridge with dancing lights while the symphony played O’Canada. It was the first time for the bridge lights to be on. They’re LED and strobe in a multitude of colour to music…Pretty wild. You can watch some of it here. (The lights are at the very beginning, so you don’t have to watch the whole video). xo B
