LOL Good Morning … Ohhhhhh Nooooo … you are not alone … I thought I was but now I know I’m not.

I find parades to be horrible exercises in egotistical mania by some “leader” somewhere that manipulates the innocent into marching and looking foolish while they themselves … and then i can’t decide if i want a big mess … but then i always feel so sorry for the innocents … but … well … you know … all the things you’ve said.

So … uhh … we won’t do a side-by-side analysis of your immersion into this project and my underlying reasons for despising parades. I’m sure they couldn’t possibly connected.

I can totally understand going all soft-hearted and losing touch with the logical portions of your brain around the humane society … there are reasons my husband and I stay away from that place …

I wanted to do the local version of Pat-A-Pet. We tested the Wonder Dog at my grandmother’s nursing home. Quite quickly the Wonder Dog realized that people who sit in wheelchairs all day usually have a lap full of crumbs and general food detrius. So she got all worked up, lunging at the crotches of immobile, ill senior citizens.
We were asked to leave.
Oh the shame.
I don’t like parades either. Which makes no sense since usually parades are a chance for free candy. FREE candy?! What’s not to love!?
Based on my extensive viewing of American TV, I too assume that balloon accidents are common place at the Macy’s parade. On a barely related note: we use to watch a lot of RealTV and AFV so now I just assume when I watch sporting events someone will injure themselves for my amusement. I get quite disappointed when I watch the Olympics and there is no carnage.

The point of Pat-A-Pet is to visit people in the hospital…not to put people there. But a better more sadistic idea…let’s put Kaya in a parade! It would make things SOOO much more interesting!

P.S. Kaya likes women that don’t steal her man away from her! I have scars to proove this. Honestly, I think she believes SHE’S married to him!

It’s crazy what people will do to raise money. They’re all “quacked” up if you ask me. But, if Big H wants to be a “quack”, who am I to stop her? I mean, hey, it may get me a trip to St. Lucia!

As for Kaya, she can be nice. She does like people…okay, woman…and not kids…or other dogs. Okay fine! Kaya will stay home and not participate in outside activities. There is a reason she is overweight!

Oh, I’m so going to convince Phoo to get a quack pack! Seriously, not only is the name awesome but I’d love to go somewhere pretty!
Lulu, kudos to you for being ever the volunteer…I’m amazed by your energy! And by the way, do you think Kaya could be a contender for Pat-a-pet? *snicker* (psycho pet…muttered under breath)
