Amber now knows how to dig a hole in the rain and then proceed to play in a mud hole.
She is officially a Dirty Dog! She is so funny that I can’t get mad at her, and the bad part is she is so smart that she knows it. I thought Abby was a smart puppy but Amber is rating right up there with her. So far she has been so easy to train that it is scary. Momma Said, “It is like talking to a tiny human.”
I hope she gets along well with the Fourth of July fireworks noise. I don’t want her to be scared of loud noises and I guess I will find out soon enough. It would be nice to be able to go and see some fireworks and not have to worry about her being scared. I always stayed home with Abby because she was so scared that I felt bad leaving her alone.
I wish everyone a safe and fun Fourth of July. If you participate in fireworks, be careful and follow the rules. Remember that this holiday is a celebration for our country and our freedom. People have fought and died for years so we can have the freedoms we have today. Please, don’t forget their sacrifice for us. Momma Said, “Have some fun, be respectful of others and most of all stay safe.”
I think barbecue ribs are one of my favorite meats to eat and I hope you find this recipe to your liking.
