The Gaslamp Pet Parade was a blast this year, just days before Christmas. Doodle rode his surf wagon down the streets of San Diego, repping his home beach, Dog Beach in OB. I was his chauffeur, pulling the surf wagon. We met so many crazy dog people!

We were thrilled to take 1st place in Best Christmas Spirit. But it wasn’t just us - that spirit was alive in every dog and dog person there. There were the most unbelievable floats and costumes and breeds, and creeds, and such!!!

Charlie Brown Christmas float and Mexican Food Truck floats celebrated Christmas dog spirit!
