The poopy purple carpets, severe over crowding of people and dogs, and the complete utter chaos was not a scene that I was ready to repeat again so soon.
The Wednesday night before this years event I got a phone call from a good friend. “Are you interested in going to Woofstock?” Ugh, how should I answer? I absolutely love dog events, and dog events that are purely shopping for your dogs? Amazing. That being said I was very reluctant and the best answer I could give was maybe…..
2 nights later, on the Friday before Woofstock weekend, I receive another phone call from a another very good friend. “I want to go to Woofstock and you are coming with me.”
So my decision was made. I attended Winter Woofstock last weekend with two very good friends of mine.
I am happy to say we had a complete blast and spent over 6 hours at the indoor event.
We did a lot of shopping. We did a lot of talking. We paid hugely inflated prices for drinks and something small to eat. We did more shopping. We enjoyed ourselves.
Kudos to Winter Woofstock for addressing the severe challenges of last years event. Also kudos for responding to my concerns on Twitter. You definitely earned my praises this year. Much better facility choice (same facility different rooms), wider aisles, no carpet, and a potty park for those who brought their dogs. Very welcomed and huge improvements.

There were a few cavaliers in attendance but not very many. We did get to meet sweet Daisy and her beautiful sweaters from Dogs and Daisies
She was having a snooze when we got there but was excited to come out and greet us in typical cavalier fashion. Your sweaters are gorgeous Daisy!

She had her sweet Havanese girl with her. Don’t tell my girls but Havanese are on my short list of breeds that I’d love to own.

In case you didn’t know what the small bags were for…
We almost came home with this and the matching jackets
My friends didn’t fare as well with their wallets. 🙂
Now to start saving for the summer…
Well thank you for agreeing to my insistance you were going to accompany me! So excited to try Spectrum 10 this weekend.
Seems like a great day anyways, so many good stuff! There is a new post up on my blog to thank you again for the snood! A second one including the folder is coming soon, sorry for the delay!!!
Not sure who was the cutest there, Daisy for all my own reasons, sweater looked great on her. I can understand reasons why not to take your dog with you, but to be given a chance to do so, was good. 🙂 x x x x
Hi,
A new section has appeared on our blog: Baika's Blog, which is named after our little dog. It's called "what's new with the CKCs ?". An automatic list of the 10 most recent updates of a selection of CKC blogs from around the world. From now on in one glance all visitors can be kept informed of the news in the Cavalier King Charles world.
Any CKC blog owner can participate by giving us the link to their blog. Whenever there is a new posting the link to your blog will be shown in the list. We of course would appreciate if you could add a link to our blog in return.
CKC blogs of all languages are welcome. We'll add a mention next to each blog if it's in French (FR) German (DE) or in English (EN).
We hope this new tool will reveal itself as practical and interesting for you as it is for us.
See you soon!

This year will be my first attendance to any Woofstock, winter or summer. I was really worried about bringing my dog in fear of the bathroom situation (Under a year old, so not able to hold it too long yet), but once I saw your picture of the potty park I literally cheered.
