Dog Parade

Yesterday was the dog Mardi Gras parade in downtown Baton Rouge. Julia really wanted to attend, well - to be IN the parade. It benefitted the local animal welfare group so it was for a good cause.
We took both dogs who were sporting Mardi Gras vests, beads, and bandanas. There were a million dogs in the parade and watching it. Dogs of all sizes and shapes. The amazing thing was they were all so well behaved. I didn't see a single dispute between dogs. We sat just watching all the dogs until it was time for the parade to roll. We managed to get in at the very end which was a good thing because we were able to skip out after about 20 minutes when the kids were done having fun. All in all it went well and the kids mostly had fun (aside from one 20 minute Alex fit concerning a sticker on his shirt). The dogs also enjoyed it and were quite well behaved.
