Halloween Pet Parade

Our family has been shopping for a new pet!  We discovered the Fairwood Pet Center and met this great lady named Anika who just might love animals as much as our Emma.  She is so wonderful and kind and realizing how much our little girl loves dogs, she insisted that Emma come and help her put on a pet parade.  It was one of the most adorable events I've seen and so absolutely perfect for Emma in every single way!

Pets and owners of all sizes came dressed up in their Halloween costumes. They posed for pictures and then did a little parade all around the shopping center.  Cars pulled over to stop and watch and take pictures.   Then, everyone came back to the store where each pet was individually introduced and prizes were awarded.  Did I say it was adorable?  So adorable!

And now for a few pictures.

This dog is wearing quite the costume.  His owner skimped on groceries for a year and spent over a thousand dollars on leather and custom made pieces.  I asked about the mask and she explained that she had a mold of his face made and then the mask was designed to fit his face perfectly.  Wow!

 

Anika was so sweet to Emma.  She let her be a part of the whole event, introduced her to everyone and had her stand up by her while she welcomed everyone and handed out prizes.  She gave Emma a big bowl of candy to pass out to the children and made every effort to help this day be one that I'm sure Emma will never forget!
