The 4th of July celebration at Yarrow and Hunts Point continues with a pet parade at Mary Elmore’s front yard. As far as I can tell, Mary has been hosting the pet parade for a long time, and her front yard is more than big enough to host the event (makes me wonder how big the back yard is).
While it’s billed as a pet parade and cats are welcome, it’s really all dogs (there were two chickens). The theme for the parade was Hawaiian and the children and parents were encouraged to give their best interpretation of the theme. We just dressed up Sally’s dog in a Hawaiian shirt but some families took it to the extreme.
Enjoy the video and photos. The 4th of July celebration continues tonight with a street party. This is a great way to get to know the neighbors better.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Sally is a chip of the old block .. promoting her blog
That was funny! “I have my own blog!”
Are they still asking who your parents are when you’re holding your daughter, John?
SpamDog should have won, because people in Hawaii LOVE spam! (the edible kind!)
What do you mean by edible spam ?
You’ve never heard of the meat called spam? It’s where the name came from.
You know, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam. I’m referring to the Monty Python skit. Look it up on YouTube.

It existed long before email.
