Love the day off! Hate the noise!
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Day Off Lovers! Yes, most everyone is off today kicking back and enjoying the day. I for one am not crazy about this holiday. I hate the never ending firework displays and noise of the 4th of July season. I call it a season because it seems to last as long as the summer. The only thing good about the bad economy is that there seems to be less fireworks this season but all and all it makes no difference to the Mayor. One crack and he is done for. So, I spent my day off cleaning! I thought I would de-hair the dog bed first! Butt, as you can see…..Our Emma was not giving up her comfort just yet!
So, I decided to vacuum first. This is very interesting. Chaps does not seem to be freaked out at all by the vacuum cleaner. He actually seems like he likes being scared. He stalks towards it, then he backs away. It is very strange.
So, back to the bed. Nope, still occupied…..
So, then I have to bring out the big guns! “TREAT, TREAT!” And we all rush to the kitchen.
I get the bed stripped and go shake the blankets…..I have them (I think tucked in the office) butt……I forgot to shut the gate.
The Mayor is holding his ground…..
So, I go out back and start to water the flowers. I know the Mayor will follow me. In my house cleaning is a very disjointed process. So, we are out side and GUESS WHAT? Joy of all Joys! Near sonic booms! F-16s are flying over.
I look down at Chaps for fear he will have a heart attack and he is just laying there licking his paw. F-16 don’t phase him???????
But this turns him into a psycho fear tinkler…..Notice the wet spot on the edge of my Turkish rug. That was from the fireworks the night before.
It left me pondering sound proof rooms. So, of course I googled it and found this! Build your own sound proof box!
I could turn my dining room into a sound proof box. You can see my dining room right behind Chaps in the vacuum picture!
It shouldn’t be to hard too do!
HOWL TO BUILD A SOUND PROOF BOX!
Makes sense to me! It looks like my dining room table would fit! LOL!
More grandiose schemes later! And for the love of Dog, no fireworks tonight!
Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma!

I think the reason Chaps didn’t mind the flyover was that he thought it was for him! HAHA. Didn’t the Mayor and Emma have to ride in the Bassethound Town 4th of July parade?
We didn’t seem to have so many knuckleheads shooting off firecrackers here this year either.
Tell Chaps to cheer up. the dog days of summer are right around the corner. Yes!
I can relate to trying to make up beds. I put our doggie beds out to air in the sun outside but somehoundie always decides to lay in them. So much for airing them out to get rid of the doggie smell!
What we don’t do for our kids.
I think Chaps and Emma would enjoy the soundproof box, but I don’t think they would care for your dining room. Just move in their compfy bed and all will be well.
