We will be staying home and enjoying some simple family time...
a picnic and a little croquet.
Mo loves a watching a good game of croquet!
(No going out to see fireworks as we don't want to leave Mo alone.)

As for Mo... she is still hanging in there, despite the ever growing sinus tumor which now distorts her snout, a constantly runny and sometimes bloody nose, and a slew of infections due to a suppressed immune system.
Her mood remains amazingly positive.
I on the other hand have been feeling very blue over Mo. It is so hard watching someone you love be so sick, (it has been a year now) and truthfully, dealing with the daily care can take a toll on one's energy and mood. However, just when I think I can't deal with much more, (of which I feel much guilt over) Mo gives me one of those looks... a goofy smile, a wag of the tail, a twinkle in her eye and my heart melts with love and renewed energy.

We take care of each other.
