Speaking of Holiday Events ...

Faithful Friends volunteers and adopters and friends -- human and furry -- will be marching in the Greenville Christmas Parade, starting at 1 p.m. Saturday. The half-mile parade route starts at Twin Lakes Brewery on Del. 52., northwest of Wilmington.

If you and your dog would like to march along, the folks at Faithful Friends ask that you start lining up at noon at Twin Lakes. Be festive -- dress for the holidays. Put on your pooch's favorite cool-weather or holiday sweater, scarf or fancy collar. And be sure your dog will do well around a crowd and other dogs.

Joining Faithful Friends in the parade will be the Stanton Middle School Band, an Elsmere fire truck, Santa in a horse-drawn carriage and the New Castle County mounted patrol.

The parade is expected to end about 1:45 p.m. From 2-4 p.m. at Twin Lakes, there will be free carriage rides, and photos with Santa for dogs or children -- or both, I assume, if requested. The cost is $20 for a 5x7 portrait and 40 percent of the proceeds will go to help homeless animals at Faithful Friends.

Good deal, good cause, good time.
