Fireworks? Fire-does-not-work!

Have I ever told you that Rudy is very afraid and nervous when he hears fire crackers go off? See, on any given night, John and I are just hanging out, watching tv, and suddenly, pop! pop! pop! Kids on the streets are playing with firecrackers. Rudy immediately runs to us and cuddles. Sometimes, he'll just find a corner any furniture and he'll find a way to bury his face between the wall and the furniture. He's really afraid. You might ask, 'Why don't you call the cops?' I DID!!! and the Alhambra cops said that it was legal to play with fireworks in Alhambra anytime of the year (that is---not just on July 4th!) Could you believe that? That's ridiculous! I just hope these kids blow off their heads by playing with fireworks in the streets! Calisse!!!

Alright--gotta walk the dogs now. Oh! This is a picture of Rudy who tried to cuddle on my foot while I was doing the dishes. He was squished in between the kitchen cabinet, the dishwasher door and my feet! Cute huh? Click on the picture to enlarge the photo. You should see his facial expression!!! SO DARN CUTE! Love you Rudy McTrudy!
