In these celebrity-obsessed times, it seems that everyone wants to be famous. Pets are no exception; they even have their own parade. The third annual AnimaloCity 2006 Pet Parade & Auction filled Tacoma's Opera Alley today with proud pets and pet owners. Led by Ruby Chambers of The Ruby Collection, more than 30 entrants paraded their pooch down the confetti-filled Tacoma alley including Arlene Knight and Buster, Petra Patterson and Itsy Bitsy, Dan Zahnow and Jazzy, Buddy and Kiwi, Marilyn Wong and Goldy, Kris Blondin and Odin Blondin.
Kris Blondin, owner of Vin Grotto wine bistro, described 6-year-old Odin as her spoiled dog-son. Odin is the Norse God of War, but she believes her Odin should be the God of Cupcakes. Kris also announced Odin is running for president with a political platform that all dogs should have Doggy Kibble in every bowl and a big pond in every yard.
Pet beds created by local artisans and businesses were auctioned off from $25 up to $200 to raise money for the Dugan Foundation, a public non-profit dedicated to ending euthanasia as a form of population control in Pierce County.
