We were busy playing all day long on the 4th of July.
We were so tired, that Benji actually slept thru the fireworks that night. Benji is always afraid of thunderstorms and such, that Mommy actually got up in the middle of the night to check on Benji since he wasn't afraid of the fireworks. Turns out Benji was just dog-tired and slept thru it!

| This is a game that Benji played called "Badminton". Not sure why they call it that because they weren't wearing any mittens on their paws, especially not any bad looking mittens. Benji chose the team opposite of Mommy and he just stood their watching the "birdie" fly back and forth over the net (and you guessed it -- it wasn't even a real bird they used as a "birdie" it was just a plastic funnel thing with a rubber tip.) Humans really don't know how to name stuff do they? |

| Instead of cleaning the house before the pawty -- Mommy made a new bandana. She made the red striped one and let me (Lassie) wear it. Benji got my hand-me-down (paw-me-down) Winkie bandana. So we wore red white and blue bandanas on the 4th of July. How clever. |
Have a pawsome day!
Lassie and Benji
Those are PAWfect Bandanas... and you two look FABULOUS in them. Your mom was SMART to furget the Cleaning and stuffs.... in favor of making the new one. They really Compliment each other.
ReplyDeleteNow about that Silly name fur the game... WHY would anyone want to play with a BAD Mitten? We could understand a Dirty Sock.... butt BAD MITTENS??? AND they used a PLASTIC Birdie??? OH these PEEPS..... What are we going to do with them???
Oh well.... a nice game of SpiderMan Ball with the little Peep... makes up fur a LOT. RIGHT???
No wonder a certain SOMEBUDDY slept through the Fireworks... hehehehhee
So tired you couldn't even hear the fireworks! That sure does indicate what a great day you had. We love your bandanas....so patriotic!

Well how else are you supposed to punish the bad mitten other than by hitting it? That's why it turns into that plastic thing to hide. Mom used to play that game as a child and her schnauzers would steal the birdie and run away with it.
ReplyDeleteYou two looked great on with your new bandanas.
We didn't have too much trouble with fireworks on the 4th because we got rained out. The nut jobs that were out were drowned out by the A/C and the music Dog Dad was playing. Last night though it was bad.
getting tired out is a good way to sleep through all that noise
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad some buddy slept through the boomers

They look like they are having so much fun! What adorable and stylish bandanas. So glad the fireworks didn't turn out to be too scary :-)
ReplyDeleteyou sure look like you had fun! Oh God! I still haven't blogged about the bandana! EEEK!
ReplyDeleteLooks like partytime at your house!!!! I love badminton, mostly because if the birdie hits you in the eye it doesn't hurt too much (unlike a volleyball, softball, or anything else that ends in the word 'ball').
ReplyDeleteYou two look really snazzy in your bandanas!
You two sound like you had a full 4th of July just like I did. I bet I would love badminton, why I try to catch birds in my yard all the time. Those bandanas make your furs look so handsome.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend

Wow, you guys had lots of fun on the 4th! You aren't afraid of fireworks? That's very brave of you!
ReplyDeleteThat's a clever idea to make a dog tired before it comes to scary events at night. But I'm not sure if my staff is strong enough to make me tired. Think the game should be called Ben-minton, because it's yours, Benji.
ReplyDeleteYou make really cool bandana's. Freya loves hers.
ReplyDelete:-) xxx they look great on you guys. X
Hope all of you had a great day!
ReplyDeleteIt has been some time that my mum really sits down and does her blogging work for me; I'm glad she is finally home and now she has to play those catching up games .
