Henry, the great Great Dane, from next door, likes to smell my ass right after I take a dump: he is a dirty butt sniffer!

Note to Dane that I want to share with you: Today, or any "holiday," or any other day, can mean what you make it to mean. While others are running around drunk, blowing things up, and screaming, "USA. USA," You, and I might enjoy the day for what Freedom means to us; and Freedom might not mean the same thing to both of us. Love you.

Up at 8:05am One of the dogs deposited a runny crap by the front door. (Anna?!) This is the first dump dumped on my floor in the time, since Friday, that I have had 5 dogs in my care, so I feel blessed. It's is a beautiful new day. I start a new job, today. Praise my Higher Power!
