Holiday Weekend

The Fourth of July weekend is upon us and I get to spend it alone. Reoccuring theme here isn't it? I know my husband would rather be home than stuck in a hotel room (with no air conditioning) in a country where he doesn't speak the language. Keep telling myself that this is only temporary. Well after this weekend, one of the dogs will become petrified to go outside after dark. Fireworks absolutely terrify her. Speaking of the dogs, this weekend also marks another important date for us: the dogs' birthday. Our little monkeys turn 5 on July 3rd. The celebration is pretty much the same every year. Each dog gets their own Arby's Roast Beef sandwich. Hands down their favorite meal. And, if my fingers are still intact, they get a cupcake. One likes to roll her cupcake over and smash the icing into the floor to lick it up later. Very gross, but it makes her happy. The other dog you have to watch because he'll swallow it whole. But, he's a good phat boy.

Must think of what to get them for their birthday.
