A-Z Mondays, "D" is for Dogs on Display, and it's my Special Day!

Over the course of the last week or so, we participated in two different Christmas parades with our Golden Retriever Group. The dogs were dressed up, and looking divine in their holiday best. Our group was a huge hit with the crowds at both parades!


I mean seriously, how could you not love these dogs!

Our group from the La Jolla Christmas parade.

Kona in his Christmas best!

Our friend Shad makes a great Santa Paws.

Kona was dying for a hot dog!

Waiting patiently for the results from the Escondido judges...Would our group win a trophy?

While we waited, a special visitor stopped by!

Yes! Our group won the 1st place trophy for our division! This was our second year in a row to win. Sweet!

Can you tell Kona was over the costume stuff? (Get this friggin thing off me!)

And...on a different note...as I mentioned....today is my special day. Today is the 25th anniversary of my 21st birthday. Yup...my birthday. It wasn't that long ago that I looked like this.... Or this...

or this.

Seriously, I was one cute little girl! Thanks Mom and Dad, for having me.
