Happy Independence Day USA and Selfie Sunday Blog Hop


Hi Pals,

We hope you had a good 4th of July Celebration wherever you were.   Ours was rather quiet, at least in our house.   The neighborhood was far from quiet - boomers going off for about 2 hours.   Geeeesh!   How can the humans stand all that noise?   I ran for cover in the basement.   The peeps were down in the family room anyway watching TV, so I cuddled in a corner.  I won't even sit on a lap when I hear them - just want to be alone.

Today we are joining A Cat On My Head's Blog Hop for a Sunday selfie.   I asked M to make mine look like the holiday we were celebrating, so she found some boomers to put there.   Fortunately, they are the silent kind, so I don't mind them being there.  he he

  7. I did not like the boomers either. My kitty sister doesn't mind them...neither to 2 of my doggy sisters. It's just me and one doggie sister that get scared. I was under the bed all night.

  19. They don’t really bother me. We don’t have them real close to hear but hear them at a distance. then there’s the Macy’s fireworks which TW goes outside to watch. Even though they’re across the river, they’re still loud.

  21. We almost asked if you like boomers cause you are surrounded by them. Then we read your story, and we too are glad those are the best kind, the silent ones.

  22. We're glad no one came up here with fireworks! Sounds terrible!
