Day 2 of Pride


Cy!

We did go to Pride again today - as usual, we couldn't get up early enough to make it down there for the parade, but we went back to the festival.

It was fine, but a LOT more crowded. Yesterday was plenty packed, but today was even more so. Glad for the turnout, but it made walking through pretty frustrating - people were of course stopping at booths and things, but there never seemed to be enough space for people to keep walking. The really slow shuffling was rough on Alex and some of the issues he has in his hips (regular walking is fine, but the super slow, tiny steps causes issues before too long.)

But it was nice and cool today, so Cy got to come! He got to visit the pet tents, and got some tennis balls and we bought a rainbow squeaky toy from our usual pet store.

He wore his bandana the whole time, and the hat about half the day. Especially with the hat, I always joke that he brings joy to the masses. So many people just... lose their minds at a dog in a silly hat. It makes me happy when people are so excited about it they go grab friends or partners to show them.

Cy was of course delighted by the attention, and is pretty sure this was a festival all about him, lol.

There was also someone who saw him and thought he was really cute... and then gave us a bunch of food tickets because they were heading out!

So we got some free-to-us samosas, because the line for that tent was comparatively short and it sounded good... And holy crap, they were! We got a curried potato one and an apple/peach one. It sounds like the place (Safari Samosas) only does food stall type things at events, or will arrange delivery or pickup, but doesn't have a formal location. Kind of a bummer, because I would 100% go to a restaurant for these.

Bought a few more enamel pins from Atomic Pixies, and donated to a couple other organizations that I'd missed yesterday - The Matthew Shepard foundation and Parasol Patrol. I can't afford much, but they're organizations that do work I appreciate, so $5 seems better than nothing.

I think tonight may be an early night. I slept pretty poorly last night despite how tired I was, but I'm already practically nodding off.

That sounds like a great day, if busy!

Cute puppy!

It was nice! Definitely busy, but worthwhile.

Cy is a good boy.

Animals are the best, and silly hats (or tutus! or fancy collars!) are even MORE the best!

Of course! Thousands of people gathered JUST FOR HIM!

That was really nice of them to give us those tickets. Thanks to Cy for being so damn cute! ;)

He is SO DAMN CUTE. He has a shirt with a rainbow paw-print too, but that would have made him too hot.

Thank you!

Yay Cy! (I won't get tired of commenting this, honestly.) Also, yay free food that's also really good! I didn't know there were sweet samosas; that must have been so tasty. Maybe they'll become available nearer to you someday?

Sometimes the tiredness takes a while to really sink in. Hope you got some much-needed rest. :)

Cy is always yay!

The food was delicious. I don't think I've ever had a sweet samosa before. It was basically just like a little pie. Super tasty! I hope they do maybe expand to a storefront at some point, because I'd love to be able to go order them. The website lets you order frozen half-dozens, which they'll deliver or arrange a pickup point for you, but that's not quit the same!

I think the tiredness has just caught up even more with me! Hopefully I'll catch up on some sleep, though.
