PAWesome fun and a galore of prizes is what the annual dog fashion show at Pergola Mall is all about - and the competition is tough this year as it is every year. The inner courtyard of this BF Homes mall was overflowing with pets, their owners, and dog lovers from all over the South, and the event was a grand success.
My Doggie and Me is a look-a-like contest. There is judging done, based not just on the outfits, but on the performance of the dog, and the wow factor - the impact on the audience.
Unlike other dog contests that require a joining fee, to join is free, and each entry has a doggie loot bag. With other dog contests, one might have to spend a lot on the costumes, yet with this, it is the stylish, themed look, and the bond between the owner and the dog that is judged.
This fun doggie event held on May 14, 2016, got the mall goers captivated by the adorable turnout of our canine friends. Many arrived early, as the seats were nearly all full when I arrived, and even after the event, the audience lingered.
I knew of this event as my pet poodle had joined a couple of years ago, and this year, I entered my Jack Russell- Shihtzu, who also has her grooming done at The Golden Three Pet Supplies and Grooming, a major sponsor of this event. The reason why I am loyal to this dog grooming place is because I do not have my dogs groomed at a veterinary clinic as they might catch a virus at those places, and my dogs just love their Golden 3 groomers, and that is why I park their toothbrushes there.
The event was enjoyable. There was a fashion show, and every entry had to walk the runway, carried, or leashed, and I had a proud pet owner moment as my dog was the only one that walked without a leash. There was a dog food eating contest, of which this small poodle in the stroller picture, ate half a plate, fast but was outdone by a bigger poodle, who wiped out all the dog food in a few minutes!
There was a talent show, and then the top 10 were chosen, yours truly included. The special awards were given out and the top 3 were announced, and their prizes were overwhelming.
My Doggie and Me provided the venue for family, friends, and their pets, to be part of a friendly competition and a summer weekend event that won't be forgotten.
