When Dogs Rule the Atlanta Botanical Garden: Reindog Parade 2012

The Dogger does double-duty as a sleigh ride for Rocco Havanese!
One day a year, dogs are allowed at the Atlanta Botanical Garden for the Reindog Parade, and the event has become one of our yearly favorites. That's our new puppy Rocco, above, enjoying his ride.



It was a big day for 12-week-old Rocco. He won Best Puppy and took home that enormous basket on top of the stroller. It's bigger than he is!

We draped some garland over our Dogger, added a few flashing snowflakes and counted on getting by on Rocco's cuteness! Other costumes were more elaborate, with folks competing for Best Botanical, Best Adult, Best Dog Pack and Best Dog - Owner Dress-a-like! We figured this year might be our only chance to win!


Here are a few other's dressed in their finery. That's a Garden Service Dog above!


Everyone paraded across the stage for he judges. That's Victoria Stilwell and Holly Firfer, in the background, as emcees.

  9. Check the nature of your credit before you apply to it. Many individuals think payday advances are the most secure advances since they have the best terms, so you'd do well to do your examination to locate a dependable advance loan specialist.

  11. لماذا تعد خدمة تغليف العفش ذات طابع مميز فى مؤسسات نقل العفش ؟

    تعتبر تلك الخدمة فى قصد الضرورة نظرا لأهمية عدم حدوث تلف أو خدش لممتلكات الزبائن ولهذا تحرص المؤسسات المميزة فى ذلك الميدان على تعيين أيدي عاملة محترفة فى تغليف كل قطعة أثاث.شركة نقل عفش
