The news is still galloping around Omena that the new Mayor of Omena is a horse, Lucky Dinero Bosco. The Omena Dogacratic Party has been caterwauling all week about the fact that for the first time in the history of the Omena Mayor, there is no dog in the top three administrative positions. However, Jovi Labriola, a German Shepherd-Husky mix and Public Relations expert, points out that the canines swept Village Council, holding 12 of the 15 positions. Also, Emmie Tomlinson, a mini-Golden Doodle, and Ruby Emmert, an Old English Sheepdog, completed the top five vote-getters category.
I want to correct the mistake in last week’s column when Lucky was called “Lucky Diablo.” He graciously accepted our apology and admitted that he can be a bit devilish around the mares.
Former Mayor Rosie Disch wants to remind everyone that the Northport Dog Parade is Saturday, August 10 at noon. Participants should be there by 11:30 a.m. The theme this year is Barkum and Bailey’s Flea Ring Circus, the Greatest Show on Arf! About 100 costumed dogs usually participate in this notto- be-missed event. The Omena Village Council invites any of their canine constituents to join them to march together in the parade. You can register in advance at Dog Ears Books or Pennington Collection in Northport, or online at northportomenachamber. org.
