It started with a beautiful day; thank God. We deserved it, after the “witchy” weather we had yesterday.
Even my trees suddenly started changing their leaves. But, on my mind was that much awaited dog parade that is the highlight of the Sea Witch Festival; in my mind and the minds of many others, as well.
Rehoboth looked good. It did not even look like it had rained. The ocean was a little wild; not much, though.
I almost could not find parking. It was like a summer day minus 60 degrees.
Even though it was a dog parade, their human counterparts were also dressed.

Here are some of the pictures of the Monsters on Parade:
There were so many dogs….some decided that a parade was not so cool, afterall and maybe a swim was the thing to do.
Then, there was the dog parade crasher; a Bunny!!
And, there was the company, a poop patrol, that wanted to remind you that if you cannot pick up your dog’s poop…..they will do it for you, at a price, of course.
On that note….have a good one!! Talk to you later….
