This week I've been busy getting ready for family from Long Island who are coming up to visit for the Fourth of July holiday for the week. I'm so excited about having them here and having a house full of laughter, food, and kids playing and splashing in the pool! The FiveSibes love to hang out with with my nephews and the cousins, so it will be a whirlwind holiday here! Looking back over the pics and videos of my FiveSibes, I just had to share this favorite of mine. Our alpha girl, Harley, really got into the spirit a few years back and, to my surprise, let me put these flashing patriotic glasses on her, and she left them on! I think she actually enjoyed wearing them! I hope you enjoyed this visit down our Memory Lane, and that you all have a very safe and Happy Fourth of July!

Today is July 1st - the ASPCA 's "ID Your Pet Day" and we are joining in their "ID's, Please!" to help raise awareness about the importance of tagging pets with a personalized ID with the pet's current information, as well as having pets microchipped (and if your pet already has a microchip implanted, please be sure the information on file is current).   "This holiday is especially timely as it's just a few days prior to July 4th - the time of year when many pets go missing due to fireworks and other loud noises." ~ ASPCA Speaking of July 4th, our U.S. celebration of Independence Day, America's Birthday, we do so enjoy many holiday traditions, such as parades, BBQs, picnics, pool parties, and watching firework s displays.
