Traveling with Ro....

Traveling Dog Review: Mobile Mardi Gras Museum — Where Humans Invented Beads and Questionable Life Choices 🐾🎭

Stopped by the Mobile Carnival Museum today so my humans could learn that Mobile, not New Orleans, started Mardi Gras in America. That’s right. The original chaos began here in 1703. Basically humans have been dressing in sequins and yelling for snacks for over 300 years. Respect.

The museum is packed with giant glittery crowns, royal robes, float art, old photos, and enough feathers to make me nervous about hidden cats. Every room looked like Liberace lost a fight with a craft store.

Apparently back in the old days, people on floats threw Cracker Jack boxes into the crowds. Which honestly sounds AMAZING because you got snacks and a tiny prize. Humans really peaked early. But then they switched to Moon Pies because the boxes were apparently too dangerous to launch at people’s heads. Weak.

Personally, I support the Moon Pie era. If you’re gonna dodge flying objects, they should at least be delicious.

The humans kept saying things like “the craftsmanship” and “the historical significance” while I was focused on the real mystery: how nobody in these parades ever dropped a sausage.

4 paws up for history, sparkle, air conditioning, and teaching my humans that Mobile deserves more Mardi Gras credit. Also shoutout to whichever genius first looked at a parade and thought, “You know what this needs? More snacks being thrown.”

Meet Ozzie. He was blessed to be the last HH Helps dog treated by Dr. Cheryl Tano. Unfortunately for us, Dr. Tano retired April 30, 2026, but she helped dogs like Ozzie until the very last day. Ozzie had torn the cruciate ligament in his left leg and needed surgery. Dr. Tano performed the tplo surgery, and Ozzie is expected to make a full recovery. Best wishes to both Ozzie and Dr. Tano!

Meet Murphy. His elderly owner couldn't care for him, and he was looking for a home through Sunshine State Labrador Rescue ([email protected] | 833-FLA-LABS (833-352-5227)). We had previously introduced some former HH adopters to the rescue, and when their dog passed and they decided they needed a new friend, they reached out and found Murphy. Now this wonderful dog has a wonderful home, and we are thrilled to have made the introduction that led to such a great result! Congratulations to all!
