Dogs in Kilts? Not on This Train!


Kiss Me...I'm Scottish!
This is the dog that got booted out of the train station for not being in a pet carrier.  Even a fluffy white pup in a handmade kilt could not soften the hearts of the gritty New Jersey Police officers!  Too bad we missed the parade of Westies in the New York City Tartan Day Parade on Saturday, but after venting over hot coffees and fresh bagels, we licked our wounds and took our parade to the dog park. 

Sizing up the competition...
Picking up chicks...don't let the kilt fool you--he's all boy!
Checking out the art installation...

Winning friends and influencing people!

For the record, this is how he rolled last year.  These awesome pipers were kind enough to pose with our pup for a picture.  Don't they look like they belong together?

Hopefully next year we won't miss the big parade, and maybe we'll show up with an Urban Heirlooms pet carrier?  Until then, we'll do our butt sniffing at the dog park, thank you very much!   It turned out to be a great day after all.  ;-)

  3. Thank you, FabricFascination! Last year at the parade he was one among many boys in kilts, but he kind of stuck out at the dog park. In a good way, though. By the way, we borrowed that nice couple to hold him for the photo! It's my favorite shot. :)
