HRH's Pet Purride Pawrade!

["Pride Heart HRH" © My Human, May 2021]

HAPPY PURRIDE, EVERYONE!

Okay, let's get this party started!

It's a jam-packed pawrade, so grab

a Pride Cock-a-tail or three

and settle in for a wild ride!

Our first participant is this cute little baby moose 

who managed to find a Pride flag 

in the middle of nowhere! 

Submitted by Shauna --

And here's Zoey the cat and Mollie the dog

serving up some "come as you are" realness!

Their human is Missy George of This N That.

Kirk of Shadow of a Doubt used his Hollywood connections

to persuade everyone's favourite "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

movie star -- TOTO! -- to come and join our Purride Pawrade!

Next up -- an out 'n proud bunch 

of rainbow-flag-waving critters!

Their human, David of 

The Adventures of Travel Penguin, 

provides the introductions --

"Once the gang heard about the parade, they elected a delegation. Front row, is copy-cat hamster, and Travel Penguin, behind him is Shirley, our Platypus, Lucky the green Irish sheep, behind him is Edwin the Dodo (he is sensitive about being extinct - we adopted him at Oxford, we were staying at St Edmund Hall) and in the back Rex one of the newest flock members (he joined us on King Street.)" 

And here's Lilith and Buster Bolfig Borghese,

both dolled up in their best Pride finery!

Their human, Mistress Maddie Borghese

of A Day With The Mistress Borghese,

(self-proclaimed "Vamp and Gin Connoisseur") 

says that Lilith is channeling 

Marsha P. Johnson, 

the famous drag queen heroine 

of the Stonewall Riots --

See the resemblance?

Next is a painting created especially for

the Pet Purride Pawrade by Stacy of MagicLoveCrow!

Crows are proud too!

Stacy says the painting 

is called "Love" and -- 

"This crow is surrounding the world, which is under its beak. The crow has no gender, it represents all, spreading love and peace." 

Direct from the Costa del Sol in Spain, 

it's the Ale-Hop Store Cow being both

proud and Covid-compliant!

Thanks to Mitchell of Moving With Mitchell

for his photo-journalism!

But that's not all!

Mitchell also cajoled his cat Dudo

into posing for two artistic Pride portraits --

"Winged Dudo With Booties" and

"Rainbow Jumpsuit Dudo With Hat"

Look how proudly these next doggies 

are wearing their rainbow neckerchiefs! 

Their human, Suz of Busy Bee Suz, says --

"I was able to wrangle my trio of misfits for some Pride Pics! Max, Lillie and Callie are Allies to everyone! I take it back. Max and Lillie aren't very fond of other dogs, squirrels or rabbits. But EVERYONE else!"

Our next participant is a colourful cat GIF from the internet

provided by Linda of Yéyé Dolls because

her own cat Hailey "didn't feel like cooperating."

Good for you, Hailey!

Always let the humans know who's boss!

Clear a path and make way 

for the Rainbow Love Pets who own

Bob of I Should Be Laughing --

Clockwise: Consuelo, MaxGoldberg, Tuxedo, and Ozzo the doggie!

Diversity is the hallmark and 

strength of any community!

Bugs can be pets too!

This rainbow collection adorns

a celebratory chocolate cake made by

Jim of The Road to Parnassus --

And finally, this is Annie, Queen of Hearts, 

who loves to give big sloppy kisses to everyone she meets 

and will play fetch for as long as anyone 

is willing to throw her ball! 

Horribly abused as a puppy, she was rescued and 

now has a happy life with Shauna!

YOWZA! What a wonderful Pawrade!

Thank you so much to everyone

who contributed to its success!
