    Your fur babies are adorable as usual dressed in their red white and blue. Love their snacks as I’m sure they loved it too. As you know, I’m very patriotic as is most of our fellow bloggers. God bless America and all that she stands for!!

    Thank you for making this Fourth so special, Mary, with the girls
    adding a delightful touch to the patriotic salute. May it be a
    relaxing and uplifting weekend, punctuated with heart-filled gratitude to our founders for their wisdom and scope and to the
    many who served and those among them who gave their lives for the freedoms and liberty we hold dear. God bless America…

    I know Sophie and Lola had a wonderful 4th with all those yummy treats! Thank you for your patriotic message and for your happy photos of your sweet pups. I’m watching Bailey right now for my son Tim and his family while they go on vacation. She’s a sweet pup, too.

    They are so stinkin’ cute, especially the pic of both licking their lips.

  15. July 6, 2025 at 6:31 pm

    The fur-children dog treats look very, very tasty and tail wagging for sure! Your red, white and beautiful table decor for the 4th is so special – so festive!

  16. July 7, 2025 at 1:01 am

    I love seeing the girls all ready for the 4th! Adorable! Their homemade treats look delicious. And they cool off as well.

  17. July 7, 2025 at 11:47 pm

    This is just the cutest! Seeing the girls licking their lips makes me giggle. Those two are certainly well treated. Love the darling head gear and your flower arrangements are gorgeous.
