Reindog Parade
Saturday, December 9, Ireland participated in the Reindog parade, a Cincinnati tradition. Since Brad and I didn't know what to expect, we kept Ireland's Christmas outfit pretty low-key. At Petsmart we found her a Santa hat, that she seemed to tolerate as long as it covered only one of her ears.
To our surprise, over 500 dogs and their owners showed up for the parade! Some of the dog outfits were really original and it was obvious that some owners had put a lot of thought into it. A lot of families with kids were present, watching as well as participating. There were prices for the dog with the best holiday costume and best owner-dog-look-alike. New York City might have Macy's parade but here in Cincinnati the Reindog Parade has become a Thanksgiving tradition.
Ireland behaved surprisingly well, that is, as well as you can expect a Husky to behave in a parade. She didn't even seem to mind posing for a few pictures.
