Hello, I'm glad to be back! I hope everyone had a nice holiday. To be honest, the 4th of July isn't very fun for me because I hate, hate, hate fireworks! They are so loud and it seemed like the neighbors were waiting for Uncle Mike or Mommy to take me outside to start blowing them up. Uncle Mike and Mommy would wait until it was somewhat quiet out before taking me outside but the minute we stepped outside, "Boom!" The neighbors are just big ol' meanies, to put it politely. Mommy calls them something else.
