Suddenly, It's the Middle of July!

 Greetings friends and fans. This is The Daily Bone, and I'm your fearless doggie reporter Chester L. W. Spaniel. 

Well, we got through another 4th of July! Fortunately I'm not too bothered by the sound of fireworks, because our entire neighborhood was launching all kinds of them until 11pm. We could hear the low booms of the Town display, and the loud cracks of stuff the neighbors shot off. Around 10pm, a big display started in the baseball field a couple blocks over. We could see them from our house. They certainly did not look like amateurs! (Even if our photos might.)


My ghostwriter says today, with the humidity, heat, and scattered showers reminds her of summer vacation when she was a kid growing up in Niagara Falls, NY. There was no AC then, so on really hot days, she and her siblings and friends would play Monopoly, or cards, or dolls, or just read books in the cool basement. After a hard rain, they'd run outside to splash in the puddles. On cooler days, they'd ride their bikes over the Grand Island Bridge. Sometimes they'd ride across the Rainbow Bridge to Canada. 


Hey, I thought this was MY blog! 


I'll tell you what. For an extra treat, ghostwriter, you can show some pictures of the flowers that are blooming right now. 








Here are some creatures we saw recently:

Mr. Phineas Goldfinch Esq.


Katydid


Spike the plecostomus at the nursing home fish tank


Woodlouse hunter spider


Japanese Beetle

My kitty cat cousins Hannibal and Tiberius watched out their window for the red tail hawks. 


We also had our Jessy human come visit us for a week! She flew in a jet all the way from Florida! Here she is with two of her siblings when they went out for a night in the City:


But now, things have returned to normal. 


I guess that's all I have to say for today. I'm going inside for a nap. 


















Wait a  minute!!!!

We interrupt your regularly scheduled program for this fast breaking news flash: There's a bunny in my back yard!!!!!!



OK. Bye!

  1. You sure have some pretty flowers in your yard, Chester. Did you catch that bunny or did it escape through the fence?

    1. The bunny got away, but it sure did run fast, with its fluffy white tail bouncing!

  2. You have beautiful surroundings but you must protect them from the bunny. Your parents really need to get permission before posting on your blog.

  5. Lovely pictures, C. Your Ghostwriter's childhood is the same old fashioned kind as my mom's. It was called playing - not a playdate or an organized team or club. Just kids. Playing. #goodtimes

    Love and licks,

  9. We are back into the hot weather after some really nice days...and not a few rainy days. Where HAS the time gone, July is more than half over already!

    Your flowers are very pretty That bunny is not too wise to creep into your Yard, Chester...we almost caught one the other day...

    I recollect summer days as your GW described them, Chester...we had no AC, and it was too hot to be outside...so we did inside things in the basement which was always a more tolerable temp.
