Christmas Parade! We're going to see the Newfoundlands!

My favorite Christmas Parade.   The St Augustine Christmas Parade is this coming weekend, always on the first Saturday of December in St Augustine Florida.   The parade is one of Florida's largest and always includes the Newfoundland Club of Florida Dog Club Newfies!   The best part of the parade by far.  What an awsome sight to see up to 50 Newfoundlands walking, riding and pulling carts, many decorated with Holiday cheer!  Many years I am out of town on this weekend, and am so glad that this year I will be able to view the parade.   I hope to meet some of the Newfs afterwards.   Just seeing them walk by doesn't do it, they go way to fast, you need time to take in all these beautiful creatures!  
 I have yet to walk in the parade with my Newfs.   I did promise to get home in time to take the boys to one of our local parades.  They have a lot of fun visiting and getting the doggie treats thrown to them from the Hooter's Girls float!   I hope to get some parade photos to post on here later this weekend.  Let's hope the rain coming through Florida will hold out, it is supposed to be very cool weather, great for the dogs!
