What makes a dog-friendly city?


I heard recently that Long Beach was voted one of the most (if not THE most) dog-friendly cities in the country. I imagine that that status is based on things like apartment availability to dog owners; dog park access; etc. But honestly, I live in Long Beach and I think we should get demerits for dressing up our dogs. :) There are some mad crazy dog people here in LB, and we have parades like, all the time, where we dress up our dogs and parade them down the street.

Now, dressing up dogs in people clothes is such a huge peeve of mine, but I can't help but think that this French Bulldog looks tres jolie in her little sundress, leaving me to rethink that whole dog wardrobe thing).

the most simba will do is wear a pink collar with "diamonds" or a seasonally colored bow-tie (black for weddings and formal affairs; red for Christmas; pink for family & neighborhood parties). o, and her Old Navy blackwatch plaid coat w/the faux sheepskin collar in the winter. it's cold here, dammit!

awwww...what a sweet thing! I'm not a huge fan of dogs in clothes either, but I'm ok with something subtle.
