S

aturday’s PAWS Pet Parade fended off rain and had 114 registered dogs, among them dogs dressed as Sherlock Holmes, a cartoon hero, an airplane.

There were also dogs that did what dogs do. Take a nap. Sniff around. Get accidentally locked in a car. That’s what happened to Sadie, who was going to be in the parade but because of an errant door lock, had to patiently watch the entire parade pass her by. (A locksmith came to the rescue and Sophie got out just as the festivities were wrapping up.)

Belle, Grace Evans dog, among those at the start of the parade.

The Pet Parade helped to raise more than $1200 for the Pamlico Animal Welfare Society. Leading the parade was Ingrid Watts, a local girl who last year donated a year’s worth of her allowance to PAWS.

Mozart, the Best In Show.

Mozart owned by Gerald Walker, won Best in Class with a costume out of Sherlock Holmes. On the award stand, “Mozart“s deerstalker cap needed some adjustment. Skip Waters, meteorologist from Channel 12 and special guest did the honors.

Sadie Mae, Anna Barnes’ puppy, decided that the best place to take a nap was on the platform where the awards were being given out. She took Second Place in the puppy division and would’ve fallen back to sleep there if the traffic in other dogs hadn’t gotten so heavy.

Kathie Meyer and Taylor. Though technically a photo negative image of the other, the team took the prize for “Most Look Alike.”

A beagle waits..
