The album Pride Dogs from 2018
If Touille were still doing this blog herself (with MB typing of course) she would probably say something like this:
Notice the actual floor in this photo. These dogs are indoors at the Tower Grove Pride Fest. In 2018, for the first time, an air-conditioned area was available to festival attendees and their animal friends for an extra charge. MB felt it was worth the money to be able to get out of the heat inside the Stupp Center. And as a dog who enjoys comfort, I heartily agree!
For years MB had been bringing me to outdoor events in all kinds of weather. Now that MB is older, perhaps she has an appreciation for comfort more than ever before. MB and I used to share an ice cream at Pride Fest every year, but for the last couple of years of my long life, I was able to remain home while MB attended the festival during the hot midday hours. No amount of tree shade or ice cream can really compete with actual air conditioning.

MB typed it for Touille on May 31, 2019, wishing that air-conditioned areas of Pride Fest had been available during Touille's earthly life
