The Meeting of the Royal Couple
Mystic
Krewe of Barkus 2002
Tugging on his leash, a clearly
excited Jake, King Barkus X, could barely wait
to lay a kiss on his diminutive queen, Puffer.
Before long, Puffer, an SPCA adoptee who has
blossomed into a star of the stage, was checking
out Jake's crown jewels. |

Highlights
Participants in the 8th annual Mystic
Krewe of Barkus parade offered many ingenious
takes on the rich historical tapestry surrounding
Joan of Arc. One can only imagine how the
warrior-cum-saint would have reacted to the St.
Joan of Arc Catholic Obedience School--a passel
of pooches dressed in plaid uniforms. Or the float
with poodles who appeared to be roasting marshmallows
over the flames of a burning Joan. Or the elegantly
attired bulldog who rode atop an almost-life-size
horse made of gold papier mâché. |

1999 Highlights
Goldweiner, James Bone and Octopuppy were among

the French Quarter in the 7th annual Mystic

Barkus With Love").
