Article: Three little Shih Tzus led the big pet parade in Sun City.(Neighbor)

Byline: Ellie Young

My phone rang before 9 a.m. the Fourth of July.

It must be one of the boys, I thought.

But no, it was Sue Henberger.

"Get over here to Eakin Field by 10 and bring your little dust mop," she said. "There is going to be a pet parade."

The dust mop is our new puppy, an 11-week-old Shih Tzu. She is not quite trained on a leash yet, but we decided to give it a try.

When we got there a ballgame was in progress, and as soon as it was over the parade was to begin.
