Well - the parade's not canceled - but our participation is because of today's rain.

The parade itself is rain-or-shine - and a wonderful event.

The parade is still going - and is a lot of fun - but I know my dog won't agree about the fun factor of walking down the middle of the street for an hour in the rain.

We'll try again for next year, and let's look forward to our one year anniversary coming up this May!

Comment by bill meehan on February 18, 2011 at 2:24pm: I'll be at a conference in Pittsburgh that weekend. The parade is one of my favorites. It's all inclusive, and if you have doubts about that wait till you see the Irish Step Dancers all of whom are Black and Indian! It's a fun day, a sign of Spring and a chance to walk your dog past hundreds of admirers! Sunnyside's dog run usually marches--we shouldn't be outdone by them. Have a great parade!

Comment by Susan Phillips-Veliotis on February 18, 2011 at 12:00pm: I would certainly go & support the parade!

Comment by Ann Wagner Hall on February 17, 2011 at 11:00pm: Henna's being treated for Cushing's right now, but if she's doing well, we'd certainly go.
