Well, our rubber duckies didn’t win the race, but we did watch the parade this morning and visit the street fair. Iris was not fond of some of the loud engine noises. She also did not approve of the clowns in their little buggies, maybe it’s a clown phobia. However, she did learn an important lesson: parades mean treats. A nice guy from the humane society entry gave Iris a dog treat. She was then attentive whenever other dog entries went by. We really enjoyed watching the parade. It had a strong community feel to it.
Iris and I did not sleep so well last night. We are struggling with where she can sleep, and it tends to be on me or pushed against me so I have no space. After the parade and the short family run today, she was wiped. She was flopping around the truck and could barely keep her eyes open. I think we’ll stay in the rest of the night and let her rest.
