Atlanta Botanical Garden Opens its Doors to the Dogs for Annual Reindog Parade!

If you want to take your pup to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, this Saturday is the day to do it! Once a year, the Garden opens its gates to the dogs for the Reindog Parade, a competition for prizes and a chance to enjoy the Holidays in the Garden.  Cosmo and I plan to be there and we hope we get the chance to meet Victoria Stilwell, host of this year's event and celebrity dog trainer of Animal Planet's "It's Me or the Dog."

Pre-registration has ended, but the Garden will be accepting walk-ups. Here's all you need to know!
