So I guess at the Barkus parade (as compared to the Bacchus parade):
Dogs drink water from the toilet instead of Dixie beer (which tastes like it came from a toilet).
Instead of eating "Lucky Dogs," they are the lucky dogs because they survived Katrina.
The throws are Milk Bones instead of beads.
Female dogs show their tits during the entire parade, as well as before and after.
Male dogs expose themselves and hunch whenever they'd like, as opposed to human males at Mardi Gras parades who only do that when in large crowds in which their victims are trapped.
BTW speaking of dogs, don't forget the Westminster Kennel Club Show on USA at 8 PM EST tonight and tomorrow night. Pepper's (a.k.a. Aris Blue Skies Black Pepper) cousin Espree Blue Skies Apple of My Eye, owned by Pepper's breeder, was in the final group for her breed, but didn't win.
