The crack Navy flight team, Blue Angels are in town for an air show this weekend. They've been practicing and our house is right smack dab in the middle of their air space. So, over the next four days for a few hours each afternoon, the Blue Angels will be screaming over our house.
Which is totally cool if you're a person.
It is totally not cool if you're a Bouvier who's afraid of loud noises.
Clem gets very very very small when fireworks go off. Or, if the Blue Angels have an air show over the house. This afternoon Clem turned into the doggy equivalent of a collapsed dwarf star. She still weighed 75 pounds. But she was 75 pounds in a very small round balled up package.
It's going to be a rough couple of days on the Bouvier front.
And she'll recover just in time for next weekend - the 4th of July.
Poor Clem.

The headline in this morning's Daily News:
Neighborhood awakes to sounds of moose calf killing
GRIZZLY: Gruesome attack shocks residents as cow attempts to charge, then leaves baby.
The article was certainly the talk of the social circuit this evening. I was at two different events and it was the prime topic. The article recounted, in gruesome detail, what is probably a very normal event in the Wild Kingdom. However, reading the article while munching down on one's Wheaties was a bit much. I didn't even make it to page two of the article. I quit when the article described the moose calf's whimpering. I will say that that particular sentence made a huge impression on the reading populace - everyone could quote it verbatim.
I am one of those "Let Nature Be Nature" kinds of folks. But this article, even for us crusty Alaskans, was definitely TMI (Too Much Information).
