| Question About Cherry Blossom Festival in DC I live in NY but was interested in attending the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC this year. I went to the website and saw a list of many events that take place. So I was wondering, are any of these events dog friendly? I would like to take my yorkie along if he's allowed. |

| We don't take our dogs to the festivities because it is VERY crowded. With so many people there, I'm afraid that someone could make a quick snatch and they'd be gone before I know it! I've seen lots of larger dogs at the outdoor events, but there is such tight security in the area that for some of the things it's close to airport style passage with bags/purses searched upon entry. We take as little as possible so that we can enjoy the sites without worry.

| I agree with the previous post. But if you want to stay outdoors all day by all means take them along. I would recommend that you go earlier than later as far as dates go. Last year we went on the second Saturday of the festival and all the blossoms were gone. But the year before that it was spectacular!! Don't miss it. I hope we can go this year to see the fireworks and the blossoms. |

| I take my boy along and am especially careful with him, I never take my eyes off of him unless he is in my arms or in his carrier. I've never heard of any pet-nappings but I'm a protective mom. I'm local so I don't really participate in any special event, we just go and enjoy the blossoms outside, look at the gardens, and relax on the lawns. Pets are not allowed on the metro trains, you could probably sneak a yorkie but it's always best not to take that chance of getting kicked off anywhere.
