THE BIG PARADE

Esty took me to the Major County Rodeo Parade. Have you ever gone to a parade? let me tell you!!!!

I am getting used to this, you know chihuahuas are not known for being very adventurous, we like it calm and quiet.

Esty got dressed in this blue tee shirt that she wears to go to political things, so I should have known that something was up, because then she put my political tee shirt on!

The man took us down town and left us there with a bunch of people that were all dressed in the same tee shirts. Now I should have really known I was in trouble!!

They had this big round things floating in the air (balloons), and baskets full of "goodies" the only thing I know is that those goodies must not be so good, they did not smell like biscuits or dog treats, so I just ignored them.

Oh! you have to hear this, Esty got me a dogie stroller, so I rode in it, it's pretty cool but I rather be in my Estys arms.

All of a sudden they all said: OKAY LETS GO! and I'm thinking... lets go were? I had no idea what was going on! I should have stayed home!!!!!!!!!

Esty started pushing my stroller with me in it, and all those other people all in a bunch walked and then IT started.

The first thing I heard was this horrible sound of a siren, Esty told me is okay cha-cha is just a police car.... then a huge red truck with hoses and ladders cabe by, all blasting their sirens really loud... I wass soooooo sssssccccaaaarrreeed!! I started climbing out of the stroller begging Esty to pick me up and take me out of there!!!!!! pppppllleasssssee mmmmmoooommmmyyyyyyyyyy

She took me out and held me all the time until all the noisy police, fire engines, ambulances passed by, then she put me back and a really weird guy came over to pet me. He was dressed in very funny clothes, all strippedy of many colors. He had huge red shoes and a big red nose, but he was really nice to me, so I was okay. At least it was not so noisy any more.

All of a sudden all the people dressed in blue, including my Esty and me took after this wagon pulled by this giant dogs, (Esty told me they are called horses) and we followed them for quite a while. WE WERE PART OF THE PARADE!!!!!!!!

Kids came over to see little old cute me to pet me and say "OH HOW CUTE!!!!!" We also had balloons tied to my stroller so we looked very parady.

Then I saw an enormous dog, coming right behind us. A great Dane, my Esty said. I think it was another horse really, no kidding, the thing was huge!! he passed us by so fast I almost thought it must have been a nightmare!!

The last thing we saw was right at the end of the parade. A bunch of oldy men with funny hats riding on little bitty cars crisscrossing on the street. They were like crazy kids running fast and honking their horns.

Let me tell you what this humans do for fun!!!! I don't know I think I am glad I am a dogie, it was so horribly hot I don't know how they stand it.

Oh well, I am back home now, peace and quiet, safe in my Estys arms, and even dough she takes me in this adventures, I love it, I know I'm safe with her. She said something abut her being safe in her Fathers arms also. He must be neat.

See you next time.......
