Pet Parade

The San Diego Gaslamp Quarter held it's first annual pet parade and it was a hit. There were so many dogs there, at least 200 walked in the parade and there were many more on the side lines cheering. We walked about 10 blocks through the historic gaslamp quarter in downtown. It was the cutest thing ever. I love San Diego because they are so pet friendly and there's so many fun activities to do with them. There were 4 prizes that they gave away at the end of the day. Cutest Critter, Best Pet Costume, Best Human Costume and Best Pet and Human Costume Duo. We were so proud of Maggie because she won the cutest critter award. It was awesome. We won a gift bag with a $50 giftcard to Petco and tickets to all the museums in Balboa Park and other cool things. She even got a sweet plaque. 

This is the start of the parade. Maggie is the Grinch and Buddha was an elf. Yes he did ride in my bike basket the whole time and loved it.

This is the cutest bunny. I only thought there would be dogs there but there were bunnies and cats too. 

This lady and her dog had such a creative costume.

Here we are walking through the streets. I rode the bike some of the time. Maggie was a hit everyone was yelling out to her, and surprisingly she wasn't as shy as usual, it's like she knew she was special. 

All the peeps in the streets. 

Grinchie.

Elf boy just chillin'.

From the second we put Buddha in the bed to take pictures he was acting like such a poor boy. It's like he knew he didn't win the plaque.

Then we took him out and he became happy boy again.
