Chinese New Year's Parade, Jacksonville, Oregon

I took my dog, Duffy, to the Chinese New Year parade in Jacksonville, Oregon, which is sponsored by an association of Chinese-Americans in southern Oregon.  I parked a little bit too far from downtown, and it was like pulling teeth to get Duffy to walk a mile or so both ways.  He is a Lhasa Apso, which means he is a breed of dog who likes to do things on his terms whenever he feels like it.

Because of this, I missed the first part of the parade, but I did get a few pictures of the parade:

 After the parade, which honored the Year of the Dog, a photo booth was available for people with their dogs, and with a donation, they could get a download and a free print.  Duffy was not a willing participant, so he got a photograph in profile.  During the wait in line, there were other dogs he paid attention to. 

 I love this Go Pro camera on the back of this pointer.
