So there will be fireworks.

We will also have very hot and humid weather. So the prognosis is not good for sitting long outside. We will wait and see.

Sadly, we will not have a pup to freak out over the noise. Sadly because I miss our pups, all of them, but Booker most. Also because it will not give me a good excuse to go drive around and see the fireworks from the high desert.

We would "always" load up the family and take off. Dogs do not like fireworks at all. Shiver, whimper. Cry. It is awful.

But we had a good time.

We would all ride up the hill to Desert Hot Springs and then turn around. You can see clear all the way down. This is the mild hill before we get to the mountains. An easy ride. You can drive and look at the same time, sort of. And no noise.

Our airedale newsletter reminds us every year that fireworks will not be appreciated by the dog and that we should be sure to comfort him and to put complete tags on him in case he takes off. We have never had that happen. Forewarned.

By next year, we will have a new friend and so it will be off on the ride rather than submit to the torture of fireworks.

Did I mention that our fireworks in Palm Springs are shot off not half a mile from the house, over the ball field?
