    Re:New Year’s Day (Rose Bowl Parade) Petco float design -
    If I were to design a float for next year’s New Year’s Day parade in Pasadena, it would feature gigantic black lab in the back with a mock fireplace complete with an animated fire in it behind him, (dog in standing position, animated wagging tail (motorized), Petco toy bone in its huge mouth, & next to the black lab a kitty decorated with a big red Christmas bow, in a playing pose, big ball of yarn in front of it on the float. Then off to the side would be a big bowl full of “milk” (for the kitty) & one with dog food in it. There wold be a large perch with giant parrot sitting on it (motorized wings moving up & down) – the parrot could be made from red, green, blue, etc. carnations. I would include a huge white domestic rat, also with a nice bow green one), sitting up on a mock stair banister situated on one side of the float, maybe looking down at the cat. The rat could be made from small white roses maybe. How about a little (large) aquarium with a pair of pretty angelfish with waving fins & a couple of animated neon fishes. On the front of the float I would have 2 or 3 people with a couple of real animals (trained doggies doing some tricks like catching frisbees would be good). And that would be my float for New Year’s 2011!
