Happy Thanksgiving!  We kicked the Holidays off attending Kaiser’s parade this past Sunday!!!  Kaiser was voted Grand Marshal of his town’s Christmas festivities and he and his family led that parade in style; he and his family looking so beautiful and regal in their decorated convertible.

The theme was “Christmas Around the World.”  How fitting that Kaiser would be voted Grand Marshal – receiving over 1,100 votes from all over the globe.  When the contest opened, it practically went viral – Kaiser and his family so known, loved and respected.  “Australia has voted and we vote for Kaiser”  “Scotland votes!”  “Voted and best wishes from the UK”  “Germany is here and sends our love and vote”  “Go Kaiser and best wishes from Japan!”  “We voted, good luck from Spain.”

Following the parade Kaiser’s family invited us back to their home for a cozy gathering where a number of current, brand new, and future Heartstrings family members sipped hot cider and shared stories about our beloved Dogues.  Many, many thanks to them for hosting us – it was just lovely and such a special, special day!
