Woofstock 2023


This afternoon I took Charlie to a dog festival. 


I wasn’t too sure what to expect or how Charlie would take it, but once he got over the initial excitement of seeing a bunch of dogs in the crowd, he calmed down and behaved beautifully. “Woofstock” is a play on the name of the famous 1969 music festival, but I didn’t see any hippies today.

Created with StarryAI for Caturday Art.

There was some music playing for a demonstration of freestyle dancing with dogs.

Mosaic / Critters



We saw a couple of neighbors and also Jaime, my real estate agent. We entered the cute dog contest, but none of us won. A small red heeler was the winner, but everyone had fun. 


Charlie even allowed a nail trim!


We stayed for a presentation on search and rescue dogs. This lab is Reese, who works with conservation police. It is amazing what they can do after many days of training.

  8. I am sure that all the dogs were cute so picking a winner would be difficult - and highly subjective, of course.

  14. So much joy is actually recognisable in the pictures. And yes, I remember our chow chow who loved to play too. We couldn't take part in a competition with other dogs, he would have inevitably started roughhousing.

    Thank you for sharing with MosaicMonday
    Have a pleasant week. Greetings from Heidrun
