San Antonio: You Will Believe A Chihuahua Can Fly

May 3, 2007 at 12:14 PM | by | Comments (3)


Caution! Airborne canine! A couple of enterprising parade-goers at this year's Fiesta San Antonio Pooch Parade decided to make their own float... with several balloons and tiny harnesses. It's safe to say, of the approximately 750 dogs who marched in the parade, these probably had the best view.

Sure, that dog doesn't look like it's having a good time at the city's annual celebration of the Battle of San Jacinto and the torching of the Alamo, but maybe that's because it hasn't had the chance to kick back on the Riverwalk and drink a margarita yet.

Nika here

Hi there, this is Nika, the owner of the blog that this comes from.

Myra, the dog, LOVED being suspended in the air.  She held up her tiny little legs like a little reindeer.  Turns out she is what is called a reindeer chihuahua! (some guy came up and told my sister that).

She loved it so much she was starting to fall asleep at times but there were so many people crowding around to see her that she kept waking up.

I am still trying to figure out why people went so completely nuts about this whole thing.  My mom and sister were surprised by all the attention (they were mobbed by photographers and followed, like paparazi) and by the end of the parade, they were being followed by a huge crowd of people.  The police made them move because they were blocking traffic at some nearby road I guess.
