Doggie Day in Bethlehem

Yesterday was Doggie Day in Bethlehem. It had been rescheduled from last Saturday, which was really rainy. And yesterday wasn't much better, but they were able to squeeze the event in between the rain. This year, they had Main Street in Bethlehem blocked off with vendors selling doggie-related items. Most of the dogs at the event are dressed up in Halloween costumes. Part of the event is a dog parade down Main Street with judging of the costumes at the end. The most original costume that we saw was a Chinese Crested as a shrunken head on a table (see below).

Because it was a little rainy and we didn't feel like bringing the circus downtown, we didn't bring Betsy down this year. She seemed really tired anyways - we felt that she could use some quiet time in the house to take a nap without Owen crying. And since it was a little cool outside, we didn't hang around too long at Doggie Day before we hopped into Brewworks for lunch. But we raninto some friends, who brought their Black Lab (Roxy) out to see the other dogs.

And we met a really cute Boston Terrier puppy, who was dressed up as Batman!

Owen typically sleeps through lunch when we're out. But we ran up against his bottle time, so we had to feed him while we were out. And then we was awake. So I sat him on my lap at the restaurant - he really likes to sit up and look around at what's going on!
