Happy Independence Day!!!

It's the 4th of July! Now I know you know what this day is. It's America's birthday. My mom says the USA is 234 years old today. Wow! That's 1638 in dog years! Happy birthday to the greatest country in the world!!!!

Grandma was happy with something I did today for the first time. Or is it only the first time my family has noticed? Anyway, I was looking out the front windows. Those windows have a very low window sill and they are perfect for a dog to put it's head on the sill. And that's what I did for the first time. No big deal. But grandma made a big thing out of it. She said all my predecessors and cousins have done the same thing and she's been waiting for me to do it too. Glad I could make her life so exciting with such a mundane thing. She needs to get a life!

The next day my family set up a little kiddie pool for me. They said it will help keep me cool in the summer. I think the a/c in the house does that already! Silly humans. Why would I want to get wet? I suspect what my family really wants is to use the pool to give me a bath. But I'm on to them! I'm not gonna get in willingly.

Okay, well, maybe a little willingly. Grandma enticed me with a piece of chicken to put my front paws in the pool. Then another piece of chicken and all four paws were in the pool. But I jumped right out after eating the chicken! No bath yet but I'm still suspicious. I will admit it was nice to cool my paws in the water.
