It is that time of year again
Toronto closes its streets for the dogs
If you love your dog you have to make your way to Toronto Canada – and bring your best friend with you. This year Woofstock begins June 12 and runs through the weekend.
It is a blast. It is fun for the dogs and for their humans. We had the great fortune of being there last year and it was the most amazing thing. At least eight city blocks of downtown Toronto are closed down to car traffic and is opened up just for our four legged friends and anyone at the other end of their leash.
While we were there we saw thousands of dogs all in close proximity of each other and everyone (even the owners) were very well behaved. There were no dog fights or scuffles.
There were dogs in outfits and scarves and dogs with beautiful collars and a doggy fashion show but it wasn’t just all about style. It was all about celebrating our dogs. There were community doggy bowls everywhere so they wouldn’t get over-heated and there were samples of all kinds of dog food for them to try ( my doggy seemed to prefer the organic dog food from France – of course – would we have expected anything less from the Queens dog. We have a welsh corgi who really thinks he is the lead dog in all situations).
There were obstacle course demonstrations and all kinds of dog accessories. It was a joyful and super fun event. The only thing is that there may be almost too much to see in one day. After spending the day there on Saturday, our doggy (with his little tiny legs) was exhausted. We asked him if he wanted to go back the next day to see all the booths we missed the day before but he opted to stay in the hotel room (and yes there are doggy friendly hotels within walking distance of the event).
So, if you can, make your way to Toronto for THE dog event of the year. WOOFSTOCK 2010
