Woofstock

R and I took Deacon to Woofstock yesterday. It's held in Toronto and if you peek just to the left of the skyscrapers you can see the CN Tower.
This event is the largest outdoor festival for dogs in North America and an estimated 140,000 people show up each year. We saw dogs of all shapes and sizes but the puppies were the cutest.
Some even came dressed to impress, you never know who you may meet. Do dogs have to get their roots touched up?
A fashion show was the spot to be to catch what's new in dog fashion for the upcoming year. There were booths of all kinds featuring gourmet dog food, treats for the allergic dog, doggy day spas, fashion wear, computerized dog tags, portrait studios and even Dyson pet hair vacuums. It was a fantastic day out but I do wish that we could rewind lunchtime. You see, you should never give your dog sausage and then drive with him for almost an hour. Let's just say that it was a good thing it was warm enough to have the windows down.
