All countries welcome!



Independence Day of the United States, also referred to as Fourth of July or July Fourth in the U.S., is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, by the Continental Congress declaring that the thirteen American colonies regarded themselves as a new nation, the United States of America, and no longer part of the British Empire.

The new hot manicure, the bacon manicure!!! I can see it now. Getting your fingers wrapped in slices of bacon. I'd get one.

Is today over yet?

We have guests staying with us for the family get together and it's tiring lol

It was 55 degrees out this morning! I think Ohio is growing on me.

Chillin' with H, going to head out to buy things to bring to my parents' house for a day of sunshine, bonfires, hacky-sacking, day drinking, ice cream, napping and fireworks.

Be safe all my internetz ladies! Get a DD if you're partying so we can all have some coffee and nurse hangovers in the morning

I'm making Madeleine cookies for a party today. They are so flippin delicious. I spent $25 on a Madeleine pan just for the occasion. No ragrets

I'm not looking forward to this evening. Our neighbors have already been shooting fireworks & our puppy isn't doing well with them. Her thundershirt was enough last night, but I think I'm gonna have to Xanax her this evening & I hate drugging my pets up.

My husband is still sleeping.

It's raining here today so we don't have much going on. We didn't have any plans for the 4th anyway.

We are going to try out a new restaurant for breakfast but that's about it.

Get some sparklers!  Sparklers are fun!

I usually volunteer to be the DD. Id rather have a Couple Shirley Temples and not feel like poo the next day.

I hang over so bad though. So bad.

Poor thing.
My mom's dog gets really bad anxiety during thunderstorms. I had forgotten about those thundershirts. I might order one today for her.

I was skeptical, but it works so well for her. I definitely recommend them!

[mosdub]

beckynsean11 I'm sorry for your pup

[carolinaheart]

I ran my first race this morning. A four miler. I'm not proud of my pace but I suppose it could have been worse.

Now a nap before all these red, white, and blue Jell-O shots I made!

Someone posted on Facebook that in a pinch an ace bandage can work as a thunder shirt. I'm not sure how well this works/if it's a real thing. I'll see if I can find the image

A friend of mine tagged me in that image this morning. It like like it works work if you did it right.

[roastytoasty]

The comment added was that for a bigger dog you'll probably need two bandages, and that they can be pinned together instead of tied.

[roastytoasty]

Damn too slow, lol

[ceejay]

Congrats on your first race, carolinaheart!

Happy 4th, everyone!



My parents and sister are coming up to our place for brunch today. DH and I are going for a bike ride this afternoon, and then we'll go to fireworks this evening. Should be a great day!

Have you tried DAP (dog appeasing pheromone) this significantly helps my super shy girl.  Usually she'll be in her thunder shirt, DAP collar (Sentry is the cheapest and works for her, but Adaptil is another brand) I have a DAP diffuser on next to their bed.  We've never been prescribed Xanax for girl dog but we find the combination of this helps during the 4th of July!

If you need one for today, Petsmart and Petco and several smaller pet stores have them readily available.
