Scared-y Dog

Happy Belated 4th! Our house is very near the park where the fireworks are launched from and we had a sneaky suspicion that we wouldn't have to go very far to see them. We were really excited because it would be Melita's first 4th and our first one back in the U.S. since 2000! What we hadn't bargained for was opening our front door and seeing the fireworks. Seriously, we were able to sit on our front porch and get a perfect and private front row show.

Incidentally, Melita slept through the entire show despite the fact that our house actually shook with every boom. Bungy on the other hand was wide awake and scared. He would run outside, hear a boom, turn around and run back inside only to hear another boom and try to go back outside and upon discovering that he could not escape the loud noises he took off running down the street. I think Reagan found him nearly three streets over from ours.

Also, will Melita ever forgive us for all of the impromptu photo shoots that she was too young to protest?

On Thursday, Melita went back to the hip doctor. He said that her hip was doing awesome and he couldn't feel the hip clicking out of place at all. We'll have an ultrasound of her hip done next week (the 6 week mark) and if the results confirm that the hip is in place, then she will only have to wear the harness at night and then eventually she can stop wearing it all together. Yay!
