A Night Out With Dad

Tonight, dad and I spent the evening together. I had been pretty mellow all day long because of waking up at 4:30 this morning. I haven’t been sleeping very well lately with all of the fireworks, especially when they are still going on at 4:30 in the morning. Needless to say, dad knew that at some point I would regain all of my energy and become a pest again. That point came as soon as mom stepped out the door to go to Shakespeare on the Green. Dad and I shared a few adult beverages together outside while playing ball and chasing each other around the yard. We then did the same thing inside minus the adult beverages because we ran out (1 bottle doesn’t go very far between the two of us). We then went to Zestos together, where once again the line was extremely long and I let them know about it. Those girls inside could hear my bark through 2 panes of glass. On a side note, dad took a new way to Zestos and I’m glad he did because they usually way had a State Trooper surprise road block. State Troopers and a slurring Westie don’t go together. Well, we made it home in one piece and no one was stuck in the clink for the night.

Once home, I sat on the driveway and let the little kids’ next door manhandle me. Unfortunately, that is when dad realized I had gotten into the day lilies outside because my head and body are spotted with yellow and orange spots (I guess I’ll be getting a bath tomorrow). Dad finished his ice cream and with a new wardrobe change (harness and longer leash) we went over to the neighbors and dad chatted away. I just say there again and let the kids manhandle me. I’m so nice. Well, those damn fireworks are going off again and I’m hoping dad slips me a sleeping pill tonight.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth. I’ll leave you with a photo of me from yesterday’s celebration.

Peace Out,

PS – I got a new crate today, which is bigger than my old one. I’ll let you know how it works out.
