[Dailydrool] I give up!

[Pamela McQuade]

We've had a whole weekend of fireworks, one night after another. When it 
wasn't our town putting them off, it was a neighboring one, and Dex has 
such good hearing, he knew all about it, even when we weren't aware of 
it. He didn't want to go out, and since I didn't want to have more pee 
in the house, I had to drag him out. I felt so guilty.

He paid me back by sleeping right up against Drew last night, not even 
touching me, though he usually insists on leaning on both of us.

I hope no one decides to put up some home-grown fireworks tonight. I 
think the little guy needs a rest. And I think someone needs to come up 
with noiseless fireworks--it seems to me that some of the ones Drew and 
I saw last night, just above our treeline, were pretty quiet. I wouldn't 
mind quiet fireworks, as long as Dex was happy. I've never enjoyed loud 
noises, so I thoroughly relate to his problem with the booms. Oh, and 
Horton isn't too fond of the noise either, though he doesn't constantly 
shiver, as Dex does.
