WOOF FEST!

[chris]

I am cordially inviting all that can attend, a WOOF FEST at my house. Chows and non Chows welcome... as well as their humans.

Dates are 25-26th.
I live in Ingleside Illinois, directions will be giving to those coming.
bring a dish to pass for lunch/dinner and we will have a big breakfast Sunday morning before everyone heads off who stays over.

We will be BBQ'n in the back yard... we also have a beach down the road ... about a block away... dogs welcome... leashed / non leashed (keep in mind, beach is not fenced in) DH is the president of the association so I can do what ever I want at the beach

Let me know who is coming so I can start planning accordingly.



HAPPY WOOF FEST! (OCTOBER FEST... ONLY DOGS... HEHEHE )

[chris]

P.S. I have some room here for those that would like to stay... other wise you can "tent" it... or I can tell you of a few local hotels if need be.

[chow fancier]

Oh, I almost missed this cause I kept looking to see if you updated the chicagoland thread. We are talking about October 25th, correct?

Yes, we will be there. 2 humans and 2 chows. I can't wait to meet you and your furkids!

TJordan (Butters' mom) posted this link in the Houston thread...it's a good way to find dog friendly hotels. http://www.dogfriendly.com/

I will be there as well. 2 Humans, 1 Chow. I would love to bring my chow mix.... but sometimes Libby doesn't play well with others. I will feel bad leaving her at home.. but she likes to stir things up too much.

[chow fancier]

I can't wait to see Steel and Angel. Oh, Chief and Roxy too. Did I leave any furkids out??

[Babs64]

Count us in. It will be Sophie, Ty and me.

[chris]

I haven't given anyone directions yet. I will when the date is closer... YOU live in GA though don't ya? quite the hike.

[Chingshouse]

Can't wait to get back to the midwest so we can join you!!!!!

Hey Chris, are you still having a woofest? If so, Haley and I may come, and we are not leaving...I mean, for the night. Yeah...move over I need lotsa leg room. I have to throw a set of tires on the ol' Buick and give the girls each a bath. I will talk to Lily about correct protocol with Steelo, though, don't be surprised if she takes a shine to Chief, she likes the big boys. Anyway, I will PM you and discuss particulars. Better warn the DH about my quirky sense of humor...lol.

If your looking for directions on the internet to Woof Fest, I recommend trying http://www.randmcnally.com. They actually have directions to Chris' street address. Mapquest only can get you to Ingleside and not to the actual street.

you got some really great pics. I didnt get very many good ones. I am sure Connie aka Tabitha will post them.
I had a great time meeting everyone today. And I would like to thank Chris for being a wonderful Hostess.. everything was perfect
And I was very happy my Angel lived up to her name in behavior.. I have never had her around that many Chows... or dogs for that matter at once without her big sister Libby being with her. I was nervous.

Julie aka Charlotte Paige took this video

Holden was quite interested in that video!

Here's a slideshow of the furkids:


Thanks again to Chris and Michael for hosting.

[Charlotte Paige]

Probably because of my squeaky voice. I took the video. I was the only smoker (bad me) so I was outside with a few of the fur-kids and decided to make a mini movie.
I fell in love with Chief... he was so sweet.. as you tell from my video.. most of the focus was on him.
By the way Chris... did the toy last?

[kingalls]

Nice Woof Fest! Isn't it wonderful how they all got along! What a great time for all!

[fillyok]

Great pics and videos, but I think Auddymay must be holding out on us...I bet she has more. Miss Lily was too adorable...she barely looks bigger than Little Roxie.

It always amazes me when I see that many Chows/non-Chows together and no one gets their fur ruffled. It's also amazing how so many people can gather together even though they only know one another via an on-line forum. Gotta love technology!

[chris]

thanks guys! it was fun!
When I get home tonight I will post some pictures that I took as well.


Add another ADVENTURE to Auddymay's travels. hehehehehe
