Pooches: Miss M and Mr B Bring Happiness to the 2014 Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade

Before I adopted Miss M, I really didn't want a pit bull-type dog.  

But the truth is, I had such strong feelings when I had never even met a pit bull before. 

It was only after meeting my first pit bull-type dog at an adoption event--then my second, then my third-- that I realized they really are just like any other type of dog (though I now think even more amazing!).

Once in costume, Mr. B falls into character

Part of the fun of our adventures around the city is letting other people meet pit bull-type dog for the first time. This weekend we hit up Chicago's Downtown St. Patrick's Day Parade, which is such a huge event, the city even dyes the river green. The parade draws people from around the country, and even from other countries. A lot of people who met the pups wanted to know what kinds of dogs they were, and a couple of people even reveled in their own 'first time they met a pit bull' experience.

As one man from another country said "This is Pitbull? Pitbull is good!".

Mr. B brought along his camera to document the experience from his point-of-view. My favorite part is the paparazzi on the bridge.

Here are the pups bringing happiness to St. Patrick's Day revelers,with appropriate accompanying music.
