I have one jumpy dog and it is because of all the fireworks that have been set off the last few days. Diva is a good dog she just hates fireworks and thunder, well you can add motorcycles to that growing list too. Anything that is loud or a strange sound sets her off and she is a bit jumpy and the loud noises set her off extra. I will be very glad when the fireworks and the thunder season is over maybe I can get some rest then. It is a lot quieter in the winter around here, then they set off fireworks for New Years Eve and that is a bad day for Diva too.

This labor day unlike many before I will be doing nothing, I have no plans what so ever. My biggest desire today is to lie on the couch and watch my dogs. Not even do I have plans to turn the TV on, I want it quiet and  no guests me and the dogs is good enough for me. I have to work tonight so at some point I will need a nap but I do not want my nap to disturb my lying on the couch resting, if I wake up enough I will head to the bed for a nap. No good nap was ever taken on a couch with 5 dogs we need as much room as we can get to really enjoy a nap right.

As summer gets hotter and hotter it takes so much more energy to do even simple chores. The simple task of walking my dogs whom I love takes all my energy and some times has to wait until it cools off a bit before we can attack the world. Sitting on the couch watching a ball game took a super human effort last night as soon as the last out was made it was straight to bed for this tired old man. Good thing I am on vacation this week.

My vacation finally starts tomorrow, I have worked almost two years between vacations. I have no idea what we are going to do but I know that sleep for at least one of the days is on my list, working nights you can never get enough sleep and living on naps is not a lot of fun. I know we will take a couple of day trips I do not know about anything longer. Having five dogs makes it a bit tough to go very far, we can take one or maybe two but not all five that would be a mess, in more ways than one.
