a little blog by a little dog - Touille
There were several dogs at the Tartan Festival in Saint Charles. I don't think that Touille would have liked it though. Booming drums and wailing bagpipes were never her thing.
She would have enjoyed the sausage and the sweet meat stix,

Herkie has lots of photos taken on pet parade day, most of which don't show any pets. They are very good photos of people and taverns in Soulard, and a nice one of a crab cake. I especially like this photo of a man in a hat holding his dog.

Mardi Gras time is here again. This photographer, Stacey Warnke, has taken lots of wonderful portraits of dogs in the Barkus Parade in New Orleans.

I don't know the story behind this photo, but this dog seems so peaceful on the blanket. Why the blanket is lying in what appears to be a parking lot has not been explained.

His person told me that he's a therapy dog. She also told me his name but I forgot it already!

Touille was a shy but lively little Chihuahua Terrier mix (with a little Dachshund thrown in). She weighed seven and a half pounds, and lived to be 17 years old. She never could reach the computer keyboard, so MB types for her. (By the way, "Touille" rhymes with "phooey" or "chewy".)
Touille passed away May 27, 2006. MB will keep Touille's blog in cyberspace.
MB loves to sing but is not a soloist. She's a good dancer, an excellent speller, and an avid photographer. Most of her clothes are bought at the thrift shop. She's got an old car and (had) an old dog. Reads mostly memoirs and books about language, enjoys living alone, though if she had more money she'd hire a maid to clean up the place more often. MB used to live in New Jersey, but has lived in St. Louis, Missouri since 1976. One of her friends told her she "eats like a Jersey Mule". email me: Jerseymule AT yahoo DOT com

Dogs display reluctance and wrath
If you try to give them a bath
They bury bones in hideaways
And half the time they trot sideaways.

"In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semihuman.
The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog."
