Happy Independence Day!

Wishing everyone a fun and safe Fourth of July! This is Phoenix's holiday, as he was the red, white and blue puppy in the Wild litter.

Phoenix and I started the day with a great training session with a friend. It's been unseasonably cool for July - not complaining! Home for lunch and some household chores, then off to shoot pics for work and taking in a local parade with the Farmer and his mom, then out for supper. Hopefully home in time to enjoy a long walk before dark.

Of all the days of the year, this is possibly the one when I am happiest we live in the middle of nowhere. No insane neighbors shooting off firecrackers day and night. Although Jamie is so deaf he can't hear anything now and Phoenix doesn't give a rip, so I feel very blessed about that, too.

There are three towns within 10 miles who will have fireworks displays tonight and if they shoot them high enough, we can see them from our place. That will be the extent of our fireworks watching.

Enjoy the day!
