To have you ask this question ;)

By the way, you made me sooooooooooo happy with your last comment, thank you very much. :)

anyways, no chickens allowed. Not even roosters. Roosters are so last year!

Chinatown is great, and a must if you are visiting New York. It is unlike any other part of Manhattan.

wow.. never realise there are so many chinese in NYC

Wonderful pics. Thanks Bonnie

Turns out I wasn't the only Buzznetter there - So Far From Reality has one of the actual dogs, in quite the spiffiest coat I saw all day (ok, well I didn't actually SEE this one but I saw it here - http://sofarfromreality-chinatown.buzznet.com/user/?id=2223607 )

The dog does look like Pongo from Disney's 101 Dalmatians

this guy was sooo funny ...

I love Bamboo!

Actually I was really sorry I wasn't able to get any good shots of the REAL pups that were in this parade - there were dozens of them, all looking freshly washed & groomed & all sporting Chinese brocade dog coat, but it was rea! The owner of one lovely little Corgi I saw after the parade was kind enough to let me try to get some close-ups, but by that time there was so much popping & banging going on that the dog was looking worried - I did get a wonderful look on her face a couple of times by chirping at her, but then a moment later she'd get distracted by another bang from a confetti tube or popper. I wasn't fast enough on the shutter & only caught the worried face.

ha, you can't really tell what's going on in any of the thumbnails!

I never noticed before how colorful the fire escapes are

They really know how to make a great use of color. I love this whole series of photos.

He looks like an overwatered chia pet..I love the detail in his Komono though

Nice shade of lipstick

When a lion wants to cross the road most people don't stop stop to ask him why

Get more money on the other side.
