Haha, lovin' the Capt. America memes. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

On the note of July 4th, one of my goals is to knock my dog out with meds so she can hopefully sleep through all the fireworks. Fireworks become so much less fun when you have a pet. πŸ˜…

We had natural fireworks Friday and Saturday nights. There were thunderstorm both nights. So people weren't shooting off stuff here. I expect to hear a lot come nightfall. If any are close they'll freak the cat out.

Nature's fireworks are the best, but they also freak my dog out. My dog is a big weenie, haha!
