Happy Birthday Zeus
Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July. We managed survived, barely. I really hate living in the city during the fourth. Fireworks galore for a good solid week. Every neighbor has a cache of fireworks that would be the envy of every pyromaniac around. They set them off all hours of the day and night. Sunday morning at 10am for example. Our community also has a giant display on the 4th about a half mile from my house. Can you say window shaking BOOOOOOOOOM!
The labs aren’t bothered by the noise but the Saint Bernards… OMG you would think the sky is falling, and to them, it is. They bark, growl and lunge at the windows, trying to attack the source of the noise. If that’s not bad enough, the drooling, panting and frenzied pacing completes the perfect horrorday holiday package for me. Friday night we were out at the lake and came home to the boys in such distress I thought Rufus was going to bloat.
I stayed home with them Saturday (the actual 4th) and turned up the TV full blast. My being there helped tremendously. Rufus was still a wreck, but he calmed down quickly after it was over and actually lay at my feet to go to sleep with in 10 minutes of it being over. So, I guess I am bound to the house with them from here on out. Did I happen to mention that I hate the 4th!
ON A LIGHTER NOTE….
Its Zeus’s Birthday!!!!!! Happy Birthday Big boy. He’s a little whiter in the muzzle these days, but still spunky as ever! Nothing special tonight, his birthday surprise is Saturday… I’ll let you in on the secret tomorrow 
. Its super duper awesome!
My son had a special birthday boy collar commissioned by the Sew Crazy Dog Lady. He loves to play billiards and when he was dragged forced went to Joann Fabrics with me, he picked out a cool billiards ball fabric just for Zeus. Isnt he handsome! Thanks Sew Crazy Dog Lady! Zeus looks great and its another fine quality piece to add to our ever growing addiction BLING wardrobe…
For those of you that missed it last year, I made a photo compilation for Zeus’s birthday. I thought I’d give it one more go round… Happy Birthday Zoobie Doo! Mommy loves you!
Poor dogs, it’s too bad they can’t enjoy the 4th of July! But at least Zeus had himself a great birthday. Looks like he was quite the cute puppy!

Aww!! what a cutie patootie!
Sorry the big guys have such a hard time with the fireworks.. I know a lot of dogs do..we’ve been very lucky that our dogs have no real issues with noise.. We have had a ton of thunderstorms here and it’s made *me* crazy but the dogs are fine.
We also have a lot of neighbors who set off fireworks all hours of the night for a week.. with the rain this year, it’s been greatly reduced.. which makes me wonder what will happen when the weather is nice again.
I’m running a contest right now for a Music CD that is supposed to help calm dogs.. I want someone to try it and let me know how it is… since I can’t really test it out myself!

Belly scratches for Zeus from me, Gabby, Cyder, Zoe & Oscar. It will have to be a long one
Who can’t relate to this? Let’s face it. Loud BOOMS are annoying. They disrupt and distract. Although, we appreciate the reasons for celebrating independence day, on July 4th, how about giving us some INDEPENDENCE from the loud noises?
Thanks humans!
