Why can’t everywhere be Louisiana? I’m serious, these people know how to party. Welcome to the 17th annual Mystic Krewe of Barkus parade. Although I was primarily in Baton Rouge during my stay, work happened to bring me to New Orleans on this particular weekend…so I snuck out for a little dog fix. 
The weather was great and yes…you wish you’d have been there! This year’s theme: “BatMutt: The Bark Knight”. Past year’s funny pun-ies include such classics as “Jurassic Bark”, “Lifestyles of the Bitch & Famous”, “Tails from the Crypt” and “Joan of Bark”. I know, I just can’t take it- ha ha!! Mystic Krewe of Barkus was created to draw attention to homeless pets and benefit various adoption and rescue organizations in the area. The parade makes its way around the French Quarter and of course is led by royalty so…lets all hail the Queen!

Looks like you had an awesome time. I love all of these shots – especially the Batman crew.
These are a lot of fun. The color in the outfits really helps to make the photos pop.
