it's that time of year that ruby hates and i have mixed emotions about. ruby is truly terrorized by firecrackers. when she hears a firecracker something short circuits in her brain and she turns into a panic stricken beast. she'll try and squeeze behind our fridge, behind the washing machine, behind the hot water tank, behind the furnace etc. of course she can do damage behind all this stuff so i have to catch her and lock her up in a safe place. she's not a happy beast when locked up.
i don't know who to curse more, chinese merchants or indians. firecrackers are supposedly illegal here but the utes have no trouble buying them from chinese stores or one of the nearby indian reservations.
i just have to tell ruby to think of basking in the summer sun.
on the bright side i'll be buying a shit load of half price candy come monday morning.
i love you spooky sons of bitches.
