Happy (belated) 4th of July!

Happy Independence Day, to everyone it actually affects/concerns. Unless you're the twat in my neighborhood who decided 2:00 P.M. was an acceptable time to shoot off ILLEGAL FIREWORKS, forcing me to abort the trail walk I had planned to emotionally support my dogs during this holiday. Raya panicked so hard that she got into our grill and shredded both the cover and the wiring, and now the grill is ✨useless✨!

I'm not even mad at my dogs though, I'm mad at the idiot who decided to use loud fireworks in a neighborhood that literally has more dogs than children. People like them are why lost pet numbers surge after Independence Day!

The 4th of July is definitely one of those holidays that gets worse as you get older, isn't it?

Dogs in question(Raya is on the right, Kuma is on the left):


(don't worry about the backyard, this is a slightly older picture. it looks much better now.)
