Joan this is such a great idea!  I remember a town when I was growing up that held a "pet parade" and it was so much fun for the kids.  I'm not sure if it helped fund the homeless pets though; that's my favorite part of your post.

Hello Joan - beyond watching the participants, anytime rhyming, alliteration or a clever pun can make an appearance, I can be stopped to take at least a glance.

Love these kinds of events, Joan. We just had our Pet Palooza walk earlier this month here in Charlotte. Then again, I'll support anything that helps the animals in shelters.

Kimberly Thurm this is their biggest fundraiser for the year, and it is the most popular.   It would be cool to see a "pet parade".

A wonderful event for a worthy cause Joan Cox . It is such a shame that people "try out" a pet thinking if it doesn't work they can just abandon their commitment to a living being.
