We are enjoying the peace and quiet of our backyard right now.

Mom said we have to be inside tonight when all the booming starts.

Starts???  It’s already been happening.

We don’t like it but it doesn’t seem to scare us.

Mom makes sure all the windows are locked and that big machine that blows cool air is on so we’re happy.

See what a good job I do at hiding?  Nobody can see me!

Actually, I think I do a better job of hiding.  I blend in with the cover!

Mom….is this the thing you use to make catnip burgers?  Why aren’t you making any?

Did someone say catnip?

I love walking on the new deck!  I think it shows off my humongous tail so perfectly.

Both of us and Mom want to wish all of you a very happy and safe Fourth of July!  Please remember that we fur people don’t understand all the loud noises you humans make on this holiday.  Many of us don’t like them and we are very scared of them.  Think of us and do something to help us get through this terrifying night.  Thanks so much!
