In Search of:  Dog-Friendly New Orleans So. There's this awesome Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans called Barkus - here  is their website. When I was at Tulane, I went and watched the parade every year.  Finally, for the first time ever, I am going to take my pup down to Nola to march in the parade. I'm WAY too excited about this.  In planning my trip, however, I have found that there aren't that many nice hotels that will let your doggy stay with you.  Many hotels don't even list their pet policy on their website, so I've called and emailed several.

I can't love Bama. but I guess I can love cute elephants) Listening to Lana Del Rey, getting a Girls Season 2 vibe from this one:   pretty dumb name for a song if you asked me (that's right you didn't.)  but I still likey. I get a Shosh vibe from some of the lyrics (not so much the music - needs to be cheetah-fast and winning at kickboxing class for me to hear Shosh), a little of everybody else too #SoPumpedForSeasonTwo #MaybeThisIsWhyMyWorkIsn'tFinishedYet
