On any given Sunday
The rest of the world is in a somnambulist haze and here in the Gulf South, in New Orleans, Mardi Gras is in full swing. Aside from all the float parades that rolled yesterday, there was Barkus, where the dogs get to come out and shine. Although truth be had, some of those dogs didn’t look too happy – especially those little shaky ones. That’s why it’s best to bring your fake dog out for Barkus – I brought Evita, the dachsund purse, she is a crowd pleaser no matter what the occasion – and she looks real to boot – can you tell the real from the fake?
Evita doesn’t get scared by any of the loud parade noises and she gets a lot of treats since she’s so cute. Here are a couple of my favorite pics from the parade:
