 Our 4th of July
Linus had such a great 4th! We went to a parade early in the morning, and it had just rained so he decided to play in the rain puddles to make himself look like an absolute mess. After that, we went to a friend's house and he went swimming for the first time with mommy and daddy. He did so well! He's a natural swimmer. We would stand about 4 feet away from each other, and Linus would swim back and forth. Then he got muddy from running in the grass while wet but oh, well!
Then we took him to the carnival. Everyone who saw him of course wanted to play. And everyone who saw him asked me "Is that a miniature yorkie" or "is that a teacup yorkie". It got to the point where if I saw someone who wanted to talk to me I would walk away before they said anything because I was about to scream! Someone had the audacity to tell me that their chi was cuter because she wasn't so hairy and that I should shave him because he looked like a gerbil!
Then someone was talking to me and kept calling him a she. When I corrected them they were telling me that I was a horrible owner because I had a bow in my boy's hair. I about smacked her. She said someone should take him away because boy's shouldn't wear bows. I called her a few choice words and walked away.
Then I was in the backstage area before the concert (I met Kenny Rogers) and this lady walked up to me and said I was mistreating Linus because he was asleep in my arms. She said that he looked like he was dying (he was just alseep and closely monitored...he hadn't had a nap all day except in the car) and she tried to take him from me again! He had drank a ton of water about 5 minutes before she had walked up and had not only eaten a lot that day, but had also had 3 doses of nutrical because I was worried about the heat taking too much out of him. Just before she had said this she told me she had 3 shelties that stay outside all of the time. In OKLAHOMA!!!! I about strangled this womun by the end of it, but somehow kept my composure.
The nerve of some people never ceases to amaze me!
Here's a pic of the great fireworks though! |
