Happy 4th of July one day late! :) No, I didn't take Tilda to the parade. Maybe it would have been a good experience, but she would have: 1) Been in a new place. 2) There were a lot of people (which would have been distracting). 3) It was quite a hot day. Tilda usually doesn't walk good in new places, so with all that going on, it could have made it interesting. Even around home she sometimes isn't the best walker. Besides the walking, we were standing in the sun, which I don't think we could have done with Tilda, as it was really hot. She would have been one hot and tired dog. Also, by leaving her home, I didn't have to struggle with her and I could just enjoy the short parade :)
And no, we didn't take her to the fireworks either. We did that the first 4th we had her. That was interesting. She was excited with all the people and stuff going on, but once the fireworks started, she was scared. Lesson learned.
I remember I took one of our dogs years ago to fireworks thinking that would be really fun....
ReplyDeleteNope! The fireworks scare the dogs or are really really loud to them...
You were wise to not take her and to enjoy the parade and fireworks ;-)
