My mom and my sister each have these little chihuahuas. They also live in San Antonio, Texas, where every year at this time, the entire city parties for weeks during Fiesta.
Today was the annual Fiesta Pooch Parade.
I knew there was going to be some sort of trouble a few weeks ago when I heard this odd plan to float the dogs. They sat down and calculated how many balloons they needed to float each little dog. My mom sewed a special harness for each, even with a zipper to snug them in.
There is a contest at the start of the parade but my mom and sister got there too late as they were dealing with trucking the balloons down to the parade site.
