Fireworks, The Cable Guys, & Other Stuff

Jo has had some new experiences since the last post. Someone pretty close by held their own fireworks show on Sunday evening. I don't think they were legal in the state of Georgia either...big booms that rocked the house...and this went on for an hour. All the dogs (except my thunderphobe) were disturbed at first but everyone settled down and went back to sleep, opening their eyes only for the biggest booms, including Jo. Conclusion: fireworks...no big deal.

We had three TV guys in and out of the house for half a day on Saturday. Tall fellas in dark coveralls with all that scary stuff dangling from them. Jo acted as if they were mass murderers...her suprisingly loud alarm system went off. She hightailed it to the door...didn't want anything to do with 'Jason', 'Freddy', and 'Michael Myers'. We went outside to relax, came back in when the creepy dudes were out, and went to the safety of the crate, which was not in creepy dudes travel path. Cookies and her safe house made all the difference in the world...she laid down and kept her ears open...but not really her eyes. Conclusion: TV guys...very scary...need to feel safe. Watchdog...absolutely yes...no stranger coming in without the alarm going off!
