A Very Beety Fourth of July
July 5th, 2008 by Evil BeetYou guys didn’t really think you were going to get through a 4th of July without having to watch new video of Leo (and the cats!), did you?
I got him a very adorable Independence Day shirt at Petco, and he actually didn’t mind it at all. He looked just precious!
I actually LOST him for an hour earlier in the day. I have NO IDEA how or when he got out, but somehow he did. At some point I was like, “You know, I haven’t seen Leo in awhile,” and started frantically searching the apartment for him. When I couldn’t find him in the apartment, I ran out into the hall and started searching there. Leo was nowhere to be found. I ran into a group of people in the hall and I was like “Have you guys seen a little dog in a red shirt???” and they were like, “Oh, yeah, he’s up on the deck. Chris has had him for like an hour.” My neighbor Chris, who lives two floors above me, had discovered Leo in his apartment. No one is entirely sure how he got onto the fifth floor or into Chris’s apartment, but he did. And the whole time he was missing I was like “OMG I shouldn’t have put him in that little shirt! He looks extra cute! People are going to be even more incentivized to steal him!!!” But thank goodness he came home safe and sound. He’d had an Independence Day adventure.
I invited a few friends over for a little party, and my friend Emily came over early to help me prepare, and we decided to take some video of Leo and the cats since they wouldn’t hold still for photos. Ashley’s not in any of the videos, because she was hiding beneath the bed the whole time, because that is what Ashley does.
After the rest of the girls came over, we played some Guitar Hero and then headed up to the deck to watch the fireworks display, which was incredible. They had 3-D squares and smiley faces and everything! I turned to Emily like, “You know, I think fireworks technology has improved significantly since I was a kid,” and Emily was like, “The good ol’ Chinese.” And then we laughed forever, because people in another country invented and perfected the technology we use as a symbol of our own country’s independence.
I hope you all had a safe and fun Fourth of July!

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: you need a youtube channel dedicated to your pets!!
Awww, you are such a good mommy to your babies. I always have a fun time watching my four kitty girls. I laugh at their funny quirks. Leo obviously rules the roost, doesn’t he? Heehee.
You need to get your fucking dog under control and stop him from screwing with your cats. Your cats are miserable. Grow up!
Dude, I’ve had these cats forever and I assure you they are not miserable. They spend way more time play-fighting with each other than with Leo.
> I ran out into the hall
Ummm, hobbled is the correct word?
Hahaha!! Leo is like the typical pain in the ass little brother.
You can tell from the body language that the big grey cat likes Leo and is playing with him! The black and white cat I’m not so sure ;-p
IMHO pets should not belong to apartments
they should run free in gardens of houses
I love Guitar Hero!Great game, love to watch my girl play Cliffs of Dover and my boy play Jessica
One of the greatest games I know
no shooting, no violence,just pure fun
For a second, I thought you said, “bacon brownies” and not “baking brownies.” As much as I love bacon, bacon brownies is where I draw the line.
mmmm bacon brownies. just like mom used to make.
i’m kidding.
Its like sibling rivalry!
I HEARD BACON BROWNIES TOO!!! *whew!* So glad it’s not just me. =)
Leo is so friggin’ adorable! Ilh! Never did like cats but I wont pass judgement on yours.
what happened to the video?
oh, there it goes. as a cat owner myself, i can say i believe the cats look just fine. i was expecting some major brawl. that wasn’t a big deal at all.
If Beet is the mommy and the cats and Leo are siblings who the heck is the father? I am pretty liberal but I am sorry bestiality is yucky.
Awww, glad you had fun!! :)
Leo looks adorable.
ThickMascara…what video were you watching? the cats were being cats, how were they miserable? are you the cat whisperer??
Beet – hope you had a happy 4th. Leo is adorable! And the cats are cute too.. pretty relaxed for cats!
Not so sure how appetizing the dog on the counter and sniffing in the bowl is though…
Beet,
Again, I am jealous of your adorable pets! I hope you had a great 4th!
Great video Beet! The shirt takes Leo to a new level of cuteness!
Hope the brownies turned out…
My 5 year old daughter says she NEEDS Leo…. lol..
