If Congress were of a mind, they could learn a lot about getting along from our four footed friends.
In a relatively small space, a couple of thousand dogs and a cat or two, a tiny horse, two chickens and an astonishing long and neon yellow snake all came together to celebrate Mardi Gras. Big dogs and small dogs, tiny breeds and huge ones, all met and found common ground, interacting with each other and their respective owners, peacefully and genially enjoying an early spring afternoon - there were pugs and poodles, Great Danes and chihuahuas, mutts and purebreds, and every variety of terrier. And there were no battles, no accusations, no remarks about parentage or citizenship, no inflamed rhetoric or us against them signs. It was a model of what can be accomplished when we spare just a little time to consider others and remember that we all share this world together, despite size, color, breed, species, gender or sexual preference.
If the world is going to the dogs, so be it. Who's the really enlightened species?
