Tillman The Snowboarding Bulldog Gets Float in Rose Parade

Tillman the snowboarding dog will show off his downhill dexterity on a snowboard {during} the 121st Rose Parade. The {4}-year-old bulldog has gained {fairly} a following thanks his YouTube videos and national appearances, {such as} a failed run on a CBS reality show. Tillman is also an {accomplished} skateboarding and surfing dog as {nicely}.
Tillman’s owner Ron Davis says the pooch took up skateboarding years ago and snowboarding was the {apparent} {subsequent} step.
“{One} {summer} it was just {too} hot for two weeks in a row for him to skate, so I {started} skim-boarding him and surfing with him and it was {incredible} watching him, how {great} he became at {those} sports, how {quickly} he became {great} at {those} sports. And then when winter rolled {around} we {thought}, ‘Hey, let’s take him snowboarding.’ And he’s just as crazy about snowboarding and surfing and skateboarding. He’s nuts about all of them,” Davis told The {Related} Press.
President of the {Natural} Balance dog food {company}, Joey Herrick, came up with the snowboarding, New England Cable News reported:
Tillman demonstrated his talent for skateboarding on the {Natural} Balance sponsored float in January 2009, and was a {big} hit with the viewers, {even though} the float failed to win any awards.
This year, Herrick has organized for Tillman to star {again}, this time snowboarding on the float.
Tillman, who will be joined by {four} other trained bulldogs, will snowboard down a 112 feet ({three}4 meters) man {made} mountain on what is planned to be the longest float in Rose Parade. (AP Photo/ {Article} / Damian Dovarganes)

Watching the Rose Bowl parade on HGTV (no commercials). 5 Bulldog's will be snowboarding on one of the floats http://bit.ly/67rISg
I saw Tillman, Rose and little Sully today at the Rose Parade Float viewing. They were amazing! They “snowboarded” down a little hill and were brought to the top again by a lift decorated like a Swiss chalet.
Sully, named for the pilot I’m guessing, was just getting the hang of it. He rode tandem with one of the trainers.
Too cute! I could have watched them all afternoon.
Very good article. I’ve found your blog via Yahoo and I’m really happy about the information you provide in your posts. Btw your blogs layout is really broken on the Kmelon browser. Would be great if you could fix that. Anyhow keep up the great work!
Shame he isnt wearing any goggles, would of been cool with some doggie goggles.
