3rd St. Promenade: Will Romeo be the next Magic?

So yesterday Dena and I learned that Old Navy was going to have a "casting call" on 3rd Street Promenade to find their new mascot today. Romeo is cute and fun. We decided, why not, let's go! At the event, we met a large Australian shepherd that looked like Romeo (except Romeo had better fur and blue eyes). Romeo looked like that dog's mini-me! Too bad Rome wouldn't stand still long enough to take a picture with that dog with all the excitement around.

We also got loads of cute pictures of Romeo today since we actually brought the digital camera for once. He was barky as usual, but pretty well behaved all things considered!

Can you believe he's smiling and calm enough for that picture above with 30 other dogs around?

This was Romeo's first time to 3rd Street Promenade. I think there was too much stimulation for him, with all the people, the dogs, the street performers, because he had real trouble keeping focus, but he was listening when he wasn't super distracted. Below, Romeo obeys the "down" command in the middle of 3rd Street Promenade. Quite a feat!

So now we have to go through all of Romeo's pictures to see which one the best one is to submit for the Old Navy contest. We did get him a pin today that says "VIP - Very Important Pooch," which he's wearing in the above picture. So no matter what, Romey knows he's special!
