Vagabond Tales- Finn Jingles in Mardi Paws

February 18, 2023 Santa Rosa Beach, Florida Topsail Hill Preserve State Park Site 74

He jingle jangled as he walked! He seemed to like the sound!
The dogs start coming in to register for the parade. They were put into three groups…large, middle-sized, and small. Finn is the first dog signed into the large division.
They had a Photo Booth you could take your own pictures.
We talked a guy into taking ours.
Some of the participants. We can’t tell you how much sniffing and smelling went on today! But you can be sure…it was a lot!
The grand Marshall’s led the parade and threw out beaded necklaces to the parade goers who watched the festivities at the side of the road.
Finn was chosen first place in the large dog division. Top right won the King of Mardi Paws. We think these are the two others that won for the small and medium grouping but aren’t really sure!

Finn loved the excitement of the parade! Both people and the other doggies were so stimulating he almost couldn’t stand it.

  1. That just makes me smile!! What a treat for Finn and all dog owners to participate in a paw parade. Adorable. Congrats to Finn for the Win too. Love you guys.

  2. CONGRATULATIONS, FINN!! He looks soooo cute!! I like his costume more than the others. It is easy to see, and I can “hear” his bells!

    1. Love this, Diane! He had the best time! It was an unexpected opportunity we took advantage of and it was fun! We still passed people today on our hike that remembered him from yesterday!😀

    1. Thank you, Amy! He is like no dog we have ever owned when it comes to dressing up. He loves to have you put clothes on him and he doesn’t try to take them off. We had a visor we were going to have him wear but it really wasn’t the right color. He was sad when we took it away.
