Happy Fourth of July! Let’s sing.
I just couldn’t bring myself to do yet another “Holiday Safety Tips” post. You all know the drill.
- lots of dogs run away so mind the fireworks and check their tags
- Keep them cool
- Mind the leftover food
For me, the last one is the problem we seem to deal with the most. We have limited fireworks in California, so the sound isn’t usually a big deal, and the dogs are pretty good at seeking out shade when it gets warm, but man, the food stealing is going to forever be the Achilles heel in this house. To that end, I have penned for you all a song about the perils, at least in this house, of having a flatulence prone dog skulking about for high fat meats every holiday:
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What I proudly inhaled, at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose loud burps and gross farts, through the perilous night
O’er the headboard I watched as away you were leaning
And my stony red glare, gas erupting in air,
Gave proof through the night that your hot dog’s not there.
Oh pray that my owner has grilled meat to save.
And he leaves it on the deck to be snatched by the brave!
Have a safe and happy holiday! And mind the meat!
