A little snippet from ChowFest 2008. You have to double click on the image to view it. Dax's daddy, John, made it for us!

CF09 will be equally fun!

Hey, That is a great slideshow. There is a great picture of Fozzie on there. I have yet to be able to get a decent picture of him. I had to pause it to make sure it even was him. He even has his party hat on. He looks so festive. We can't wait until Chowfest this year. My boys want to know what the games will be so they can start practicing. Caitlyn is going to set up a training boot camp for them now that school is out. She's not leaving unless one of them wins this year.

I am going. Will probably bring: bowtie pasta salad with pesto, chicken, and fresh spinach, it's good. That or the cupcakes, depends on how much time I have. And of course my two little monsters.

Well Linda, ya betta tell Caitlyn that Troy's been feelin' a lot better as of late and if there's "The Most Purple Kisses" Contest... might as well GiVe Up NoW! My lover chow Troy de Bad Boy is a Shoo In to win again this year since he practices his technique year round!

I'm all excited as well! Got a great deal so I'm staying for 3 nights at the Towne Place Suites at the Marriott in Redwood City w/a 2-mile trail along San Francisco Bay behind the hotel! A mini-vacation which I desperately need!

Cupcakes? Did I hear cupcakes?

FYI, this year the Northern California Chowfesters will have an opportunity to show their chow chow pride by wearing a one of a kind CF09 t-shirt. We'd like to extend the opportunity for the members of this site to purchase one as well. The cost is $15 for sizes S-L. For the XL to XXXL size, the cost is $17.00. The cost includes shipping and handling.
The t-shirts are white with our black butterfly and chow logo and a special moto for us chow parents to live by. The t-shirt will look very similiar to the illustration model on this post.

If you would like to purchase a t-shirt, please PM me with your personal e-mail address, your snail mail address and quantity of t-shirt for each size.

[Zhuyos mom]

If anyone would like a CF09 T-shirt, please PM kingalls.

[LEO's mum]

Awww, who's the cute model, then? I've got to get one for my mum! Are they men's sizes?

[Zhuyos mom]

Just bumping this up because I know "kingalls" needs to get the orders in to the printers by this Friday.

[Miss Pooh Bear]

Hooray!!! Just 9 more days till CF09!!!

Dear Chow Friends,

Tigger and I have gone to the parlor and spruced ourselves up to see you. Well, my furdresser got a little carried away and talked me into a new "doo". It's okay. It's a little too short for my comfort, but a change in look is always good, I say!

Troy, Sheena, Kodi, Shiloh, Nakohe, Leo, Boogie, Teddie, Fozzie, Bruin, ChowFun, Chewie, Dax, Preston, Cue, Natasha, Shelly, Little Bear, Yogi, Jake, Aslan, Moomba, Wally, Zen, Mochi, Yoshi, Mallie, Louie, Manfred, Stormy and Kona, I will see you all next week at the CF. Remember to bring your "game" faces on. I'm trying to talk mommy into getting Frosty Paws for the fastest treat eatter contest, but she is resisting. She says not every chow likes Frosty Paws. Moms

With Love, I remain,
Miss Pooh Bear

Holy Smokin' Aces, Pooh! That is an awesome lotta Chows coming to the festival! I wish I was there, but since I am not, please everyone, take latsa piccies!
Kind Regards, Miss Lily An Wu

[kingalls]

Ms Pooh Bear,
I can't wait to see you, Tigger, and all of the party Chow Chows this Sunday! I'm sure you look beautiful with your new summer cut "doo"
Nahkohe and I have been keeping a close eye on Mom - but no brush or combs yet
See you soon, girlfriend!
Shiloh

[Auddymay]

I can feel the excitement vibe all the way to Michigan! Forget the California Cows, I want to apply to be a California Chow, if only for a weekend...
Miss Lily

[Boogie and Linda]

If it is frosty paws that are the treat then Teddie will have everyone beat. Poor Fozzie will be last though. He likes to eat slowly and taunt Teddie with the food he has left.

And I will be jealous of Tigger's new 'doo. It is not looking like Fozzie will have his new hairdoo by Sunday. You all will have to excuse his homeless chow appearance. There is not much I can do with the poor guy (that he will let me do).

[SirDooFuss]

We are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to Sunday!!!!
Too bad our boy is away this month, but our Chowgirl Shelly will be there!
See you all soon!

[chowfrnd88]

Hope you're having a great day Chowfesters!:) I can't wait to check back tonight to see if any pics have been posted! Wish we were there!

[MontanaXman]

See all the pics on Facebook under username MontanaXman.

A good time for sure!

thanks to all the folks on the committee that put this together

[Zhuyos mom]

Hey Richard, I'm not a facebook user. Is there another way you can share your photos? I'm glad you had a good time. I hear Jake is still the reigning musical chow-chairs king!
