Wolfhounds on parade

The South Side Irish parade was quite a show.  My aunt and uncle came down with their Irish wolfhound (Mona).  We walked with them in the parade with the Great Lakes Irish Wolfhound Association, behind St. Patrick and Uncle Sam.  Quite an amazing thing to see 22 wolfhounds all in one place, socializing with each other and the crowd.  Most of them were thoroughly enjoying all the attention, getting petted by lots of people.

Mona loved it.  Between so much petting and a very long walk, she was a very happy dog.  She's about 140 lbs and was one of the smaller dogs in the group.  Most of them were male and 170-200.  That's a lot of dog.

Relaxing now after being out for hours.  Back to the grind tomorrow...
