One of our parks here has a drive that follows the river. Last year four resident geese decided to lay down right in the road. I was out there, trying both carrot and stick methods to get them off the road, stopping traffic, lol. (If only I had some bread) At one point one of the geese came at me hissing, lol. They finally moved.
The Dog Parade pictures are here! The weather was lovely - warm for this time of year and no wind. Long post ahead with dog and Christmas pictures, my apologies to those not interested in either.

Waiting for the contests to begin. There was a best outfit contest, ugly sweateer contest, and best owner&dog outfit contest. Cooper didn't enter, he just wore his Elf outfit.

The Dog Parade!
we ran into my friend Bev there, she makes the most adorable dog outfits and sells them a few events throughout the year. She and her husband are really special people, they have 16 dogs, mostly elderly disabled ones. We got Cooper a new pair of jammies

Cooper in his new jammies. Corduroy decided he was being neglected so got in the picture.

This is one of her new designs, ponchos. We're pretty sure Cooper has more American Indian blood in him than Elizabeth Warren does.
