I am kept awake by the fireworks while Emma sleeps through them undisturbed. I am so glad she's not afraid of them, having had three previous dogs who were frightened of firecrackers, one of whom, Velvet, had to be tranquilized for a week every Fourth of July. A Leader Dog on drugs is no joke. Anyway, I was thinking that last year over the Fourth, Drew was on leave and the two of us were spending time together. On July Fifth we went to a Lugnuts game. We had left just as the fireworks started, and Drew kept shouting, "Hit the deck! Incoming!"
Which made me laugh instead of being scared of the loud noise. Nearly everyone I know is away for the long weekend, so it's lonely here. I've been reading, mostly, and I'd like to write more and play some on-line poker and my word games, but my arm is throbbing right now.
friendship,
emma,
