Josh picked me up from the gym last night, and we traveled across town to make it to the concert. As we approached the area we noticed people walking away with their chairs. We missed the concert. One would think that a rock band would put out a decent concert, but it was over by 9:20. So we were thirsty and headed back to Iowa City for a cold one. We went to Sam's Pizza and had some Bud Light Limes.
We got home at about 10:30-45ish and turned on the tv to find Animal House on, so we proceeded to watch that. I was sitting in the chair which faces to the outside window. All the sudden a bright spot light was shining into the window. I thought oh crap, a car is headed for our front window. The light shut off and it was a police car. I yelled to Josh "There is a police car outside" So We both got up and went to the front door, and to our surprise the cop was walking to our front door.
The cop says there has been a complaint of a dog barking. We were like uh, WHAT??? Then asked what time this complaint was called in. He estimated it was about an hour ago. We said we had just let the dogs out to go to the bathroom. Halen our older dog never barks, but Kona is a good watch dog and will bark if she hears a noise, last night she barked to tell us to let her in the house, maybe 2 barks. The cop continues saying that this is not a priority call and that is why it took so long to get to our house, he said it with a smirk on his face, like this is a joke. At the time the cop showed up Kona was in her kennel for the evening and Halen was asleep on her blanket in the bedroom. We could have easily said we did not have dogs. Serioulsy a busy holiday weekend and someone has to call us in. I really hope no one was driving drunk, on fire from a sparkler, or in dire need of the police.
So in the morning I called Jolene our neighbor, and asked her about this. She said Kona was barking at maybe 10ish when we were not gone. Keep in mind she barks at a noise, it is the 4th of July lots of fireworks in the area. She could have heard a noise and just barked for a while. We also discussed who possibly could have made this complaint. Most of the neighbors either have or had had a dog. There is one single man who lives behind us, we all believe it was him. The next time he revs his motorcycle I think I will call him in, the police have nothing better to do.
Anyway...HAPPY 4th of JULY! Josh and I went out to the Coralville parade this morning. It was a long one, lots of great entries, and even though we were at the end of the parade route and surrounded by kids we managed to get a little pot of candy. Then we met up with Kara and Ava for lunch, but had a hard time finding a place open. We ended up dining at Panchero's downtown. That Ava is getting older by the minute.
Otherwise Josh and I have been lounging aroud all day, enjoying a day off. We are headed to Cedar Rapids this evening. There is a slow pitch flood reflief softball game at the Kernals Stadium. Josh is going to umpire and we are going to meet up with Laura and Joe. There will also be live music, food, and fireworks. Should be a good time.
Well this post is plenty long, so I wish you a safe and happy holiday, will catch you tomorrow!
