There's nothing cuter than a big ol' wet dog. Well, OK, cats wearing sunglasses are pretty cute. A baby with creamed corn on his face, cute too. Pig in a tutu â€" check. And an iguana in a sombrero? Dios mio â€" the cute-o-meter is gonna blow!
But big ol' wet dogs are still up there. And Saturday’s McKinley Street Festival is gonna serve up a fat, stanky plate of canine cute as it hosts the Dugan Foundations’s Animalocity Pet Parade where dogs, cats, birds and other cuteness parade down McKinley Avenue around 3:30 p.m.
The festival will feature a kiddie carnival (cute), a school supply giveaway, food, and music by Larger Than Life Band, Stacey Jones and the Wulff Tones, Angela Jossy and Sammy Barrett.
What about the wet dogs?
A art auction titled Drink will be held to raise funds for the Dugan Foundation and the street festival. Donated, hand-decorated doggie drinking bowls will go to the highest bidders. And the Weekly Volcano has money on water added to those bowls immediately for the dogs in the parade. After all, parading is hard work.
Oh, and leave Cujo at home: All aggressive dogs will be banned immediately.
One more thing. Don’t let your dog drive a motorized parade float. Not even if they're wearing sombreros! â€" Suzy Stump
