Black Friday shopping with doggy

Happy Thanksgiving!

Doggy at Bass Pro Shop in Rocklin, CA

Last weekend we visited the Bass Pro Shop off Highway 80 in Rocklin, California.  We see the shop all the time from the freeway but had never been inside.  It is like a Disneyland of outdoor sporting goods.  Amazing displays.  They are also generally pet-friendly.

My doggy needs a few sweaters- any ideas?

My dog's one  sweater is so well used right now with the chilly weather, needs a 2nd.

With the holidays coming up, I am looking around for cute, handsome dog sweater ideas.

I love ones on the uncommon dog website at http://www.theuncommondog.com/dog-sweaters.html

Dia De La Muerta parade and procession, Petaluma, CA, very dog friendly

From 2 to 8 Pm today, there was a El Dia de los Muertos candlelight procession with giant puppets through the streets of Petaluma, CA.  The parade starts at Water Street Bistro at 100 Petaluma Blvd, which is a dog friendly cafe with soups, sandwiches, and salads.  It ends at Petaluma Historical Society, at 20 4th Street.

There were plenty of dogs dressed up as skeletons.

During the parade, a musician had people yell out someone who has passed away, and who we miss, my son yelled out Sophie, his first dog he has ever loved.  I yelled my uncle, who passed away in December.  He would have loved the parade, he enjoyed each day.
