Pug Parade in Lakewood Ranch

Here are a couple of photos from today's Pug Parade in Lakewood Ranch. The parade is sponsored by Sarasota Magazine and Lakewood Ranch and benefits the Sarasota Humane Society. For 6 years I was in charge of the Pug Parade when I worked for the magazine, this year I got to be a judge. It was so much fun. The pugs were so cute. There were 117 pugs entered this year. The day was just beautiful. I got to sit next to nationally know cartoonist, Chris Browne. Chris has been a judge for many years. I always said if I were a judge a little pug would win and guess what...I was a judge and I got to pick Miss Congeniality and I picked the cutest cheerleader pug who was little. I can't wait to scrap these fun pictures.
