maple leaf parade

todaywas my 1st time going to the big parade here in carthage. right away, i knew i was going to love it! there were so many people & dogs and the air smelled like bratwurst and funnel cake (or so i'm told). people stared at me in my red jacket, and kids kept coming up to pet me. i was well behaved, except when the first band came by. the drums reminded me of our ship's cannons during the war and i tried to run away. there was a really fun dog show. next year i might enter. i got to see my cousin, napoleon, my new friend penny, and i got to meet her older brother plato. we all got along really well. normally, i don't get people food, but today i got a little bratwurst. i LOVED it! also, mom & dad bought some mini dog cookie cutters, which means more cookies for me! well, better go, i'm worn out!
