big bada boom


A few insanely loud, house shaking, seemingly professional grade firework booms a few years back have caused tiny chumley to be little less predictable when it comes to days like yesterday. Usually, we turn the tv on loud with some sort of bang bang shoot ‘em up movie and or sit with him in the bathroom while the festivities happen, but yesterday, the combination of a pacing little wolf and a need to do some laundry led me to an interesting discovery that I don’t know why we didn’t think of sooner. And so we sat in the laundry room, watching the wash go round and round, enveloped in the white noise of the dryer and the occasional jet engine like noises of the washer, the booms sounding farther off than the ever have before. 

um, well, a ferocious wolf needs to protect his hearing, and u need clean laundry so poopso facto this is perfect really, isn’t it? just let me know when it is over bc me and duk duk will b busy, u know, playing games that may or may not cause us to pass out in here. :)

What a great idea, will try that next year on our Canada Day fireworks! My boys just shake when they start.

I can always tell when nearby fireworks start because LuluBelle, very much mommy's girl, always comes to me for a snuggle on the couch. Our crew does not shake too badly, but they get nervous and do not like it.

Add Little Klaus to the list of those not crazy about the loud fireworks. The neighborhood shows (all against city regulations) go on for several nights before and after the 4th. During last night's show Klaus needed to do his duty. Quite a time we had out there...almost felt like we were in a war zone. Next year we will need to remember to do laundry. Thanks for the tip.
