ABGB Dog Parade

The Austin Beer Garden and Brewery (ABGB ... a bit of a play on CBGB) nearby on Oltorf held their 5th annual dog parade and pug wedding to help raise money and awareness for "Pug Rescue Austin". Austin is a dog friendly town.

We stayed for the wedding but skipped out on the parade.

There were a lot of pugs and even a few pugs up for adoption -- you could have taken one home with you.

There were a lot of people there with dogs of various sorts and even a young woman with her Richard Parker cat. Brave to bring a cat to a dog parade. Many of the dogs were all dressed up in Mardi Gras togs -- like the King of the Mardi Gras in the picture to the left.

There was a pug wedding with attendants, lace veil, and so on. I don't know how long the marriage will last. Dogs aren't especially well known for being faithful to a one and only partner.

Most of the dogs were well behaved ... but, "Hey, stop humping my leg!"
