These DC Pets Are Loving the Cherry Blossoms Just As Much As Humans Are

Over the past three weeks, Washingtonian has asked DC Instagrammers to share their cherry blossoms photos with us by using the hashtag #washmagphoto. We’ve received hundreds of photos of cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin, cherry blossom-themed food and drinks, and of course, posts of your pets enjoying the spring blooms. It’s nice to see our furry, four-legged pals enjoying DC’s springtime tradition as much as we are, so we’ve decided to share 12 of the cutest posts we’ve seen in our Instagram feed:
