Today is a special day. Not only is it Independence Day, but it is also Chelsy's adoption birthday! One year ago today she arrived to our home a frightened dog. Those of you that know Chelsy realize how far she has truly come! She has truly been a blessing to us, and she was definitely worth the wait. (I begged Blake for 2 years for a pet before he finally caved!)
For our birthdays celebration, we went to the Roanoke fireworks display on the 3rd. For some reason, every town around here had their fireworks on the 3rd. I'm still trying to figure that one out! Anyways, we took Chelsy! Yes, Chelsy has come a long ways, but she still has a ways to go. We were pleasantly surprised at how she did. She initially was really excited and then when we settled down on our blanket surrounded by people, she got really nervous. After about 10 minutes she finally settled down and was great...until the fireworks started! She wanted to run and hide but quickly realized she had nowhere to go. Plus she was on a leash. She crawled behind Blake and just laid there and shook. Poor baby! She did finally calm down but stayed nestled behind Blake. We finally got back to the car, and she couldn't have gotten in there fast enough. She was happy once we got her home.
The actual 3rd of July celebration in Roanoke was great! They had tons of activities for kids and families, and they served brisket sandwiches, chips, and a drink for just $2! The fireworks were the best we both had ever seen. Roanoke also has that small town feel to it, so we felt like we were back in Naz or Canyon. It was a lot of fun, and even though she may not admit it, Chelsy had fun too! :)

You've had her for a year, but that dog still hates me.
