Pets On Parade
Memo to Aloha Update writer Taryn Wong: It's time to hitch up the beagles for a walk through the Honolulu Arts District Friday evening July 18, 2009 for the highly anticipated 'Pets On Parade.' A fun fundraiser for 'The Hepatitis Support Network of Honolulu,' this is an excellent opportunity for canines and other furry friends to bond with their humans while checking out all the cool art galleries & congenial watering holes in downtown Honolulu.

"Koa the Mauser in collaboration with the Arts District Merchants Association and Hawaii Pet Magazine Invites ALL PETS to be part of the Pets on Parade July 18 2009 at 4PM at the beautiful Hidden Chinatown Courtyard, 1126," next to Ramsey's Gallery. All Pets means that Dogs must have their humans on a leash, and dogs must wear a collar with current ID. Cats are welcome, though they must be in a carrier or (a word I dislike) a cage, along with other pets, thus birds, iguanas, crickets, rats, etc are more than welcome.

What is even better is that dogs or cats or rats or etc and their humans are encouraged to make a pledge of $$$ for each block that you walk. The Parade route is 10/ten blocks through the historic heart of Honolulu, the Chinatown Arts District, and funds raised will help 'The Hepatitis Support Network of Hawaii.' A weaselly $1 per block times 10 will raise $10, a Pekinese $2 will net $20, a Siamese sized $5 snags $50, while a pit-bullish $10 per block will generate a $100 donation. These are suggested guidelines, though, no one is suggesting that you cannot pledge a polar bearish $1,000 per block!

Before and after Parading through Historic Honolulu with your Cherished Human, pets are encouraged to visit the Hidden Courtyard where they will find Entertainment, Treats for Pets, Refreshments for Humans, and booths exhibiting animal care tips, pet supplies, and more!
Those pets wishing a blessing will be pleased to note that the Reverend George Scott, Punahou will provide "a spiritual celebration to honor our loyal companions who love us unconditionally." Mahaelani Richardson, KITV,will assist Koa the Mauseras the host.

Much of the fun will be exposing your pet to the works of art at various galleries, all of which encourage everyone to drop in more often, one reason they stay late and keep their doors open on occasions such as this, and first Fridays, to share their love for art, something pets truly appreciate (my Puma Cat's favorite book was a collection of Cat Paintings from the New York Museum of Art).

Sign up early, contact Jackie Walden via 585-7200 or Melanie Yang via 524-1160.
