Santa Paws

The Santa Paws Walk is an annual event in Tallahassee, FL, bringing the best behaved, most beautifully groomed residents of our fair city together to celebrate the greatness that is Dog.

In its 20th year, Santa Paws attracts dozens of well-heeled canines and their doting owners for fun competitions: Sweetest Face, Most Spots, Most Elf-like, etc. I tried to enter the Sweetest Face category, but apparently only the actual dogs are eligible. I couldn’t have won anyway. 

What a face! There’s no way I’d have won in any category.
  

  

The eyes have it.

  
A sweet angel patiently waiting on her next command.
  
This Sleeping Beauty found a spot in the sun and tuned all the noise out.

  
Good people offering information and resources.
  
These little ones really liked me. Studly said, “no!” Of course I might’ve called him in mid-putt….
  

Corgis crack me up.

  

One of the many vendors present. These folks make house calls!
  
Hey Human!
  
Stately Irish Wolfhound
  

Beautiful family with their three rescue dogs.

Yes, I’m cute.
  
All these trees and Im posing for a picture.

  
I can’t believe I let Mom drag me down here.

  
If I don’t win sweetest face I’m requesting a recount.

  
  
Making friends.

I was so impressed with how well-behaved every dog was at this event. Even with all of the distractions and temptations the four-legged participants were amazingly placid.
