<br />

Plus that also means you didn't get to see me in the Doggie Parade. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was the Grand Marshall of the Doggie Parade which ended with the NSF's 1st Annual Fun & Furry Pooch Pageant.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Look at the wonderful float that the JCYC youth created for moi! Yup I didn't have to march down. Rode da float with Tubby by my side (he pictured here on the right) and Bonanza leading the parade in his King Kamehameha costume (picture to come!).</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm personally asking all my doggie friends to tell their parents to bring them down to this great community event that celebrates all the Asian/Pacific communities in the Bay Area. </span><br />
