Took the Rottweiler to the Vet to get sedatives for July Fourth.

They were badly overbooked, so we had to wait in the Car with the A/C running.

I found out that my 105 lb. dog pants so hard that she shakes the car! When she would pause to swallow, the car would go still. When she panted again, the car would bounce. A gentle bounce, but she rocks the car, nonetheless.

Truly weird....

We've been lucky with our dogs when it comes to fireworks. Our Westies used to look out the window and bark at what they saw acting like they were excited and if to say "knock off all that noise". Otherwise they were fine with it.

Our 2 rescue Terriers don't really care at all. But when a delivery truck comes down the street.......we'll have none of that!

My rescue Chihuahua/terrier mix gets upset w/ fireworks and emergency vehicles going past..the Yorkies seem to ignore them for the most part.   I'm glad I get very little in the way of fireworks--they are banned in my suburb.

 My previous suburb was much noisier in the summer, morons nearby would set off fireworks on the street--very loud.

Our one property is within an 1/8 of a mile of our Carroll County Farm Museum property where many events are held. Once such event is the 4th of July Celebration and fireworks. When those mortars go off the boom shakes the houses windows. For years when we had cats and dogs I would sit in the house and turn up the TV volume and try to physically keep them calm during the fireworks. That same Museum holds Civil war reenactments throughout the summer months, with cannons and black powder muskets being constantly shot off during the event.

Now that all our pets have gone to the other side we don’t have to worry about the noise.

Must have had a brain fart the other day when I made the video of the strongman event I competed in. I forgot to include the loading medley.

Here's the new video, with all the events:

I finally got to help out one of my neighbor ladys. Her garbage disposal has been non-functional for over two years. It was old, rusted and seized so I advised her to purchase a new one and I'd install it for her. Today was the day. It went in without a hitch and all is well now. My payment, a homemade Italian dinner.. good neighbors are abundant in this development.

I had posted in the Irked thread about having the County sending a threatening letter about my Shipping Container.  That dead tree letter was dated April 03, I called the Land Use Specialist to tell her it was getting moved, and she said they are not allowed period, must be removed.  I said there were a few in my district, and she didn't believe me, so I sent one example that had been complained about and then closed, I found 8 in total.  Plus other areas.  I put a little sign in my driveway the week the Right of-way visual site inspection was going to happen, I think it was the next week, no sign.  I saw the detail of the complaint dealt with it being on the property line, before it was dragged around back.  I was loaded for bear.  But today I saw this:


Today on a lark, checked out the County's Citizen Serve portal, discovered the complaint was closed June 06, she never sent a dead tree letter to inform me.  The bureaucrat took 5 pictures down my driveway, but one was just of Blue Cloud which I find amusing for some reason.
