"Ohhhh say can you see, by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming ...."
Oooops! Hi!! You caught me singing The Star Spangled Banner, the National Anthem of The United States Of America. If you would like to read the rest of the lyrics you can do that here, but it won't be as delightful without my melodious voice serenading you as you read.
Why am I singing the National Anthem? Because today is a very impawtant day. Today we celebrate America's birthday which we also call Independence Day.
If you aren't from The United States and aren't familiar with the history behind July 4th, you can read about it here
People like to celebrate America's Independence a variety of ways.
Some people have barbeques
Some people go to baseball games

| My Mom is a Cleveland Indians Fan because she is originally from Cleveland I was born in Michigan so as you can see I keep the Detroit Tigers just a paw pad away |
some people have picnics
 |
| Let's see catnip? Check! Kibble? Check! Canned food? Check! Put some ice on this baby and we're good to go! |
Some people sunbathe
some people swim
There are so many different ways that Americans celebrate The 4th Of July.
The biggest celebrations usually involve firework displays:

ReplyDeleteLuv Your Buddy Cloon
Happy Independence Day to you all. Have a lovely day and hope the big bangs don't frighten you too much :)xx
ReplyDeletep.s we loved the picture of the kitty sunbathing hee he
Personal fireworks are illegal here in Los Angeles, and I can handle the noise from the city fireworks shows because they are far away, so I will be having a nice Fourth! I hope yours isn't too loud!
ReplyDeleteOh, Cody, you made such a fun Happy 4th Greeting. We like the photos lots. But we hate fireworks, too, and so do the two big dogs who live with us (we all worry for one another in our various hiding places - and when it all over for another year we come out and are a family again).

@Coupon Queen thank you, nothing exciting going on here today, some of the boomies started last night! Ugh!!! Hope you have a great day too!
ReplyDelete@Lydia thank you! I am glad you liked it!! Ohhh your poor doggies! Dakota was going nuts last night cause the boomies started here. Say hi to Shiva Lullaby, Willow, Pyewacket, Pilgrim, Onyx and Soxy for me!
@Sparkle I think they are illegal here too (but I am not sure) but people have them. We live where we can see/hear other suburbs setting theirs off. Poor Dakota was having a fit last night with all of the noise and there will probably be more noise tonight! You are lucky Sparkle, that you don't have to deal with it! Have a great fourth!
@Princess Jasmine thank you!! My Mom loved that kitty too!

@Cat-from-Sydney yep Brad you are celebrating this month for sure!
@AmyLynn thank you! Yes we had a great 4th! Hope you did too!
Love this post! Hope you guys had a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteMy three fur babies hid for most of the evening, but they were safe :)
I love those pictures! I hope you had a wonderful Independence Day! We spent a lot of time under the bed protecting the dust bunnies from the firework boomies!
ReplyDeleteThe pool and sunbathing pics made me laugh, but I am glad that the 4th is behind me. (They can continue fireworks here for a day or two after the fourth though). I had a horrible headache last nite and tried to go to sleep at 11:30 p.m. but the dang fireworks were making so much racket, and the kittehs were all hiding under the bed.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever hear back from your Science Diet contact person, about the food giveaway? I still have not received anything. That was such a long time ago!! It makes me wonder if all they wanted was some free advertising.
Cody, I love your big beautiful eyes!
ReplyDelete@Julia, yes I did. I gave her your info...I believe everyone else received their coupons because I haven't heard anything else from anyone. If you want to email me privately I will give YOU her email address and you can contact her directly if you would like to. My email is cgittleman at mi dot rr dot com
ReplyDelete@Mom2acat, thank you and I am sooooooooooo sorry about your baby! (((((hugs))))))))))
@Brian and @Yvonne, yes, we did! Thank you! xoxo
julia I have tried to email you twice but your email will not accept it. My email came back to me twice.
