Chapter 36
(March 2010):
Everyone loves a Parade
Every year
for St. Patrick’s Day we Irish Soft-coated Wheaten Terriers from the Internet
Wheaten List put our best paws forward and march in a virtual parade to raise
money for Wheatens in Need, our rescue group. This year it was extremely
important to rake in a lot of dough, for WIN had just rescued more than a dozen
Wheatens from a puppymill, including a whole litter of 5-day-old puppies. Then
we vote to see who will be the Grand Marshall and consort.
Daddy submitted our
photos and some sweet friends left comments. Mummy wouldn’t let Daddy vote for
us, though, because she insisted that Stella – 16 years and 5 months old –
deserved the honor more. It would truly be easier for her at that age to be the
Grand Marshall waving from a convertible than marching with the rank and file.
Stella is my heroine; I want to age gracefully and in good health like she. I‘m
glad she won a prize: grand matriarch. Anybody but my bison brother.
