I actually dressed up somewhat for this event in order to have fun walking with my Dad and Blue Belle down a street and /and or city that we had a serious problem with last year. We parked after around 5pm and we had to leave a 6pm so we go there at 6:02pm right as the parking meters readers were having a blast writing as many $75 tickets as they possibly could? How freaking greedy I thought as I grabbed the ticket sadly and placed it in the glove box as if it it has ruined a good evening and perhaps that was the intentions of this greedy city. Yeah it bummed us both out as we vowed to boycott this city and we did for the next year. If anyone invited us here, we declined; no city that robs other families like this do not deserve our business. It's Bad Kharma.
My dad and I only spent about 30-35 minutes walking and it wasn't really that rainy; I think we had beat the rain. I got sick just before putting on my costume and had to smoke up just prior to go outside and enjoy the parade. There were not a lot of dogs out just yet and we had decided to leave early so that we didn't get ticketed for not being a resident. Maybe that is what it is?
This video has many of the photos and the first part if of Zeus; my neighbor Barb's do who was a sweet dog that acted just alike a car. He was very aloof but the city had to put him to sleep for attacking a small puppy. RIP Zeus!
Hope you enjoy the videos and I thought I would add some more videos of AnimaliFarms.com.
Peace and Love to all!

I can't believe how much the nightmare of getting parked and paying to park ruins so many trips on both sides of the Atlantic. We live in tourist destination here in the Lakes and parking is a nightmare. Residents are in a permenant state of stress about it- just nipping out for an errand is difficult with wardens skulking round your wheels the whole time. Shame you couldnt stay longer but great that you could go along and take part at least- good for you. Hope you have a great day- comfortable and relaxed. Have joined you to my blog list XX
this year I've already been clamped once [for parking for 3 minutes on an empty lot WITH a person left in the car!] - that was £100 that I had to pay 'on the spot'. enfuriating! it's not the fine, it's the SIZE of the fine. pure greed as you say.
glad you got to go anyhow - love the glasses babe ;)

You and blue bell look great. And I agree: Los Gatos is a greedy city! Sorry, dear!
Hope your intestines settle down and you get some relief!
Hello Jayne,
My name is Eliane and I really leave the other side of the world... I'm brazilian and I leave in São Paulo. Just send you this note to let you know that your fight touched lots and lots of people including myself. I lost my mother 3 months ago to this horride desease after a two years battle. Not fair at all !!! I discovered your blog through the CSN website, I follow the OVCA forum and the amazing ladies there posted comments about you (altough I do never posted, I always got really valuable informations there and I feel like I know all the ladies personally... they are the best !).
Jayne, you are so brave, sweet and beatifull (inside and outside !) and I admire you so much that I could not miss the opportunity to get in touch with you.
From the botton of my heart, I hope you have all the happiness you deserve and enjoy your life as much as possible, it does not matter if it will be one hour, one day or years and years....
Wish I could be your friend and one day travel to California, sit with you in a bar, have a glass of wine (probably a whole bottle) and just talk and talk... I'm sure we would have so much fun... what a great dream...
You go girl !!!
Love
Eliane
