If you want to see well-dressed pets, spend quality time with Santa, and enjoy a fabulous small-town atmosphere, save time Saturday morning to attend the Chesapeake City Merchant's Association's Pet Parade.
All pets are welcome. And we mean all. Last year, the parade lineup included 60 dogs, two goats, one (very brave) cat and a pony. Who knows what might show up this year.
Lineup for the parade starts at 10 a.m., with the parade beginning at 11 a.m. It starts under the bridge near the elementary school. And they give out prizes -- lots of them. For the best dresssed pet, most creative, judges' choice and most holiday spirit. (The photo is of Winston, an English bulldog owned by Carrie Sherwood of Middletown, who was named best-dressed last year.) Prizes will be given out in Pell Gardens where animal organizations and vendors will have displays until 2 p.m.
Bring your camera and have your pet's picture taken with Santa after the parade. If you are interested in participating in the parade or your organization would like a table, contact Natalie Gentry at (410) 885-2330.

Thanks for the plug. It was a great event this year. All dogs this time...so next year we will have to work on more horses, goats, and pigs.
I'm sure we'll send some photos your way soon.
Thanks again, Natalie
Hi Natalie: I just blogged about what might be the cutest pet photo I've ever seen. And you'll find a small photo gallery on the bottom of the Pets site. How many dogs did you have? And if you have a photo of the best dressed, e-mail it to me at jfredel@delawareonline.com.
Sorry I missed it! Jill
