5 Ways for Dog Owners to Have a Great Pride






1. Only bring your dog if it's friendly with kids, people, crowds, and other dogs!

2. Keep your dog on its leash at all times!

3. Make sure your dog gets plenty of water!

4. CLEAN UP after your dog - violators will be fined!

5. Make sure your dog is licensed - and has a tag listing your current contact information.

Typically crowds are far too large on Sunday to bring your dog without significant risk of loss, injury, or stress on the animal. If you want to bring your dog with you, Saturday is the best day to do it. ONLY dogs are allowed in the park. Other pets are not permitted by PrideFest organizers or the city.

** It's totally unofficial but as far as I'm concerned, rule number six is this: Dress your dog up in a rainbow boa (see pic #3) or gold lamé halter top (see pic #4). Everybody's a winner when dogs are dressed in such a fashion.

*** Do yourself a favor and click that last pic to embiggen. I love the guy in the background who is all caught up in the fabulousness of the pink dog. "You better WORK, Miss Thing," he seems to say.

I make and sell gold lamee haltertops for dogs and cats. It makes them feel sexy and it makes me feel proud to be doing my part.
