Woof-Fest

Sunday, June 8, 2008

Today in Downtown Toronto, Most of Front Street was shut down for Woof-Fest - A Festival for Dogs - this festival is the closest thing to dog heaven. Free snacks, water dishes everywhere, people spoiling the dogs with attention, and the most important - unlimited butt sniffing!

I haven't see so many dogs in one day...

Though there is a downer to todays event - I actually forgot to put my charged battery in my camera today, I was so pissed - missed out on a lot of good shots. But the day was salvaged when my best bud Sam brought this point and shoot digital camera, so I did take a few pics that I will be sharing. Mind you I didn't take as much as I wanted because half the time I forgot I had Sam's camera because I was so pissed.

I went down to the festival with Sam and his dog Vegas (Doberman), later on his girlfriend joined, and then one of my favorite people to hang out with, Sahar came with her boyfriend and his dog Tito (Half Pit/ Half Lab).

Vegas is your Ideal big dog. He's 2 years old, bigger than most Doberman dogs, absolutely beautiful and pretty much obeys on command. Then you have Tito - heh - simply put, he is one powerful, fun-loving dog that does not know when to stop...get him excited, and it doesn't take much, you have to put your whole weight to stop him. And even though he is friendly - he can be unpredictable with some dogs...with Tito half the time you have people adoring him and the other half trying to stop him from running to every dog he sees. So you can imagine how much of a handful he was.


Here are some pictures I took while at the festival. The one thing that I learned about take pictures of Dogs is that not all dogs understand 'stay'. I spent 10 mins with this one dog on the right - Italian Greyhound - the lil guy just kept moving and dodging - just ruining every single shot I took. Along with him where 4 other pups - all of them jumping all over the place...at one point, while shooting the Greyhound - I got all tangled and in the end I had to unwind myself to get loose. Too funny.

My favorite dog - Vegas.

These two love the camera

The cutest lil things. Both these guys were just loving the attention = hard time for Haroon.

Here is Tito (left) and Vegas playing in the pool area...Vegas actually wanted to play fight, but Tito was too distracted by the water and anything that had four legs.


It was really hard to hold back the urge to just punt it...


Me and Sam taking in the humid weather...
*note to readers I don't wear hats - ever - I just couldn't take the sunlight being blasted on my face

To end the entry I leave you with my two favorite dogs
