Soulard Dog Parade

The dog parade was a lot of fun this year. Bogey did really well even though he is skittish. He was exhausted when he got home. He and his momma (Tara) slept for 4 hours straight.

My sister, Bogey and I headed out around noon. We met up with Preston, Molly, Michelle, and Vivi. We stayed at the urban dog park while the parade was going on. We met up with Pickles, Quinn, her husband, and her daughter Natalie while we were there. Then headed out to the Frenchtown Dog Park after the parade was over, where we met up with Danny, his wife and their dog, Patty. We tried the leash free side of the dog park for a little while (Run Free. Play Safe.), but it didn't work out very well for the dogs. Bogey was scared but Patty, and Vivi played hard and had fun. I wimped out around 3pm. So it was a short day, but a fun day.

This is the official greeting at the dog parade.

Bogey says "Hi!" to Patty.

Here's a few photos from the parade. Nothing too exciting.



The kid about to jump off the roof in the next picture was screaming at the top of his lungs for literally 5 minutes straight. It's amazing he didn't pass out and fall into the crowd. I'm sure the dogs loved his enthusiasm. Just like they loved the cops turning on their sirens to get them to move.
