Smokey's Parade from Smokey's Parade by Daniel Daugherty

Smokey was an old dog my Daughter and Son In Law inherited when they purchased their Farm House near Leroy Illinois. Smokey looked well into her teens when I first met her, which for a dog means being close to the end of the road. The almost magical thing she did was, when walking down country roads, she would suddenly become like a parade figure. She would put her chest out, raise her chin and walk in a march step almost like a parade majorette. She passed away a few years ago, and I really miss her. This song is for all old pets, those our souls will never unattach.
