LJ Idol Week 1 Entry: "I Love A Parade"

[catwomon]

Each year, in the beautiful and historic Clifton neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, a very festive parade is held to herald the arrival of spring and also to celebrate Easter. In April of 2001, I was in the city, and, in fact, in that neighborhood on Parade Day. I was spending the spring with my partner before moving there to be with her later

So realizing that the parade had essentially halted so that the Float for the Homeless Blind Women of Louisville Kentucky could wend its way down the avenue,

Hahahaha! That's exactly what it must have looked like, even though there was a completely reasonable explanation for the random collection of items-in-cart.

Oh, boy. What an unfortunate time to be trying to run a simple errand across a random obstacle you didn't even know was there.

Still, the dogs proved their training as far as they were capable.

Great story. :D

This made me laugh out loud, especially the matter of fact way you tell about the dog's perfectly logical decision process.

Lol! Oh dear, how embarrassing. But it makes a great tale!

Sounds like, as usual, the dogs were better behaved than a lot of the people.

I love this story! As I read, I heard your voice telling it, as so many times before. Yet still I roared loudly, as if hearing it for the first time.
