Mardi Gras is my favorite time of the year! I went to Mardi Gras in New Orleans a few years ago. Twice actually. It was a lot of fun. One trip was what I call the "Parade Route" because the entire 4 days was spent going to parade after parade. The next trip to New Orleans was all about seeing the downtown festivities and oh what an experience that was. Now Texarkana has its own Mardi Gras celebration. This year it will be held on Saturday, March 1 in Downtown Texarkana.

UPDATE - ADOPTED!

Someone threw this poor baby out on the street! He was found by an elderly lady on a fixed income. He is now at the shelter.

He has kind of a unique, ummm, how do I put this...his wee-wee doesn't look like it exists. No lie! It looks like it was removed because it doesn't stick out. When this sweet little pup was found dumped in the lady's yard they were afraid it was hurt but it doesn't have any wounds. I guess that is just the way he was born.
