We had a great time at The Petlovers Show at the Tradex Centre in Abbotsford. I was the first time I have ever done a trade show. This is such a fun family event with so much to see and do. I just love that people can bring their dogs! The organizers were so friendly and helpful. Everything went smoothly with the setting up of the booth. Our booth had the best location, right on a corner. We had a great time talking with all the visitors to the booth. Our dogs looked so pretty and were so well behaved. This being their first time doing something like this I am so proud of them. They were so sweet allowing hundreds of people to pet them. They really enjoyed all the attention. By the end of the day they were pretty tired and glad to be back at the farm! They must have had fun because day two they were super happy to be back at the show! Might have had something to do with the treats the visitors gave them.
So many of the visitors told us that they never see Cocker Spaniels any more. Many of the older folks would share fond memories of the Cockers they had as children. I am happy that I could be there with my dogs representing this special breed.
I want to say a special thank you to all my Wedgwood Family members who came and helped and supported me in my 1st Show! I want to give a special heartfelt thank-you to Paula Gueulette for spending her entire weekend with me. She worked so hard work making sure everything got done and had my booth looking perfect! She walked dogs, gave me breaks, talked to people, kept everything tidy,
I couldn’t have done this without her! Thanks Paula!
I cant wait to do it all again next year! Hope to see you all there!
