The best part of the blogging is when you can meet offline people you got acquainted online and who you like.
Claire had the pleasure to spend Tuesday afternoon with the adorable Chloe who was on holidays in Switzerland with three members of her family, all very nice also.
How do we know that Chloe is adorable ? Read more, you’ll see.
They visited together the Castle of Chillon, a magnificent castle which is by the Lake of Geneva very close to Montreux. This pleasant bonding time still went on around a table ; Claire is very proud to have understood what her American friends told her, and especially that they understood what she tried to tell them !
Our human then took back Chloe by car at the station of Montreux, because she had told her that she had something for us in her suitcase…
Look at Claire’s smile : Chloe offered us a bag with a lot of things from the last BlogPaws conference in Nashville ! It was all pawty at home when we opened it : thank you so much, Chloe !
The best part of on-line friendships is when they become beautiful offline stories.
Very cool y’all got to meet!
How cool that you guys got to meet in Switzerland… If Claire can’t go to BlogPaws, Chloe brings BlogPaws to Claire.
Absolutely ! It was… magical ! Purrs
Fancy your Claire meeting Chloe in Switzerland! We bet you enjoyed all the goodies that Chloe brought for you both.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
How lovely you got to do that 🙂 xx
How exciting that you got to meet Chloe – and you got to do it in Switzerland! Who knows, maybe I will even get to meet you one day!
Claire hopes so : she knows she will attend a BlogPaws conference once in her life (at least), not in 2016 because of family stuff, but 2017 or 2018. Purrs
How awesome that you got to meet Miss Chloe! It was almost like having BlogPaws in Switzerland!! Hey, that’s a good idea!!
We got some BlogPaws swag 😉 Purrs
That is so cool!
So nice to meet people and in such a pretty setting!
Switzerland looks very pretty. The picture of the two of you is really nice too 🙂
We can see Pixie and Zorro loved the gifts!
Purrs Georgia and Julie,
Treasure and JJ
How exciting! We’re glad you had such a great time.
That is so awesome! Especially since you live so far away. I live in the states, with many other bloggers and still have only met maybe 2 others so far. It would be nice to meet them all one day. I bet you guys had a fun time together and looks like the kitties appreciate their gift!
What a wonderful visit! How neat that connections made online can turn into the “real thing” as well.
Sounds like a great visit! I am so glad you both took the opportunity to meet each other in real life!
That is such a cool story!!! I sure hope to meet some of our blogging friends in purr-son one day 🙂
It’s always fun to meet fellow bloggers in real life. What a treat that an American and Swiss blogger got to meet though. That doesn’t happen very often. Glad you two had fun.
How fun to meet someone in person that you have only know online. It looked like total fun. A castle and all WOW!
Yes, it was great fun ! Purrs
How paw-some you guys were able to meet! It is always fun to meet others! 🙂
What a wonderful thing for Chloe to do. She is really a terrific lady. We can see how much Pixie and Zorro enjoyed all the goodies she brought. Mom is a bit jealous as she loves Montreux, especially the creme brûlée at the Palace Hotel. Mom’s dream is to live in Vevey and vacation every year in Italy. She knows it is one of those IMPOSSIBLE dreams as she could never afford it. CJ sends a kiss to Zorro. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Mum hope to meet your mom one day ; not sure that some “crème brûlée” will survive the overseas flight though ! Purrs
What fun! It’s always fun meeting blog friends in the fur!
what fun!!! so glad you got a chance to meet
We agree…….it’s wonderful to meet good friends you’ve gotten to know over a short OR long period of time in the blogosphere. You’re guaranteed to have a SUPER good time!!!!!
Hugs, Sammy

Awesome! I enjoy meeting other bloggers too.. but usually it’s a lot closer to home!
That was fun to meet Chloe. How nice of her to bring you a swag bag too.
How wonderful that you met to meet Chloe! And you didn’t even have to come all the way to the states to meet her, either. The head peep hopes she’ll be able to meet you someday, too.
Chloe is lovely and so is that part of the world. I took my daughter there – we visited friends in Neuchatel, Lausanne and Vevey, and toured that amazing castle on the lake- spectacular. We spent a few days at the Fairmont Le Montreux Palace (Canadian connection and we felt like Princesses).
Love it when we meet up with virtual pals. X Susie and Kilo the Pug
Oh how fun is that??? And to think you met up when you live so far away from each other!
So fun…and very exciting!!
What a wonderful posting – and a pawesome visit! How lucky are you both to meet and enjoy a beautiful time together!
That is great that you got to meet- and at such a cool place.
Oh my gosh, how cool is that?! Chloe is such a sweetheart and it truly is fantastic to be able to meet the faces behind BlogPaws and other pet blogs in person.
Absolutely agree, there’s nothing like getting together in real life. So glad you were able to meet together “live”, and the kitty looks pretty darned happy with her gifts! 🙂
I love that you two met – Chloe was so excited. I feel like you got to experience BlogPaws face to face now. We have to get you to a conference in the states 😉
That’s fabulous! It’s great to be friends online for a long time and then finally be able to meet in person. I hope we all get to meet you at a future BlogPaws conference here in the U.S.!
Love & Biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
So glad the treats from BlogPaws were a hit. I really enjoyed spending the afternoon with Claire! Next time maybe I can meet the stars of The Swiss Cats! 🙂
Mom Paula loves meeting the humans behind the cats! How wonderful to meet Chloe.
That is just the niftiest thing!
Have a wonderful weekend…

How neat is that? Must have been such fun for your mum to meet yours and her blogging friends. And what a great prezzie for you, too!
Now about this castle… Any secret passages? Inquiring minds wanna know.

How exciting that you got to meet in real life. Pixie sure seemed to enjoy the Blog Paws tote bag.
How wonderful and Chloe is such a nice person. I’m glad you got a swag bag and I hope Claire got a t shirt.
That’s wonderful that Claire was able to meet a fellow blogging friend! And gifts for the kitties is wonderful too 🙂

OMG if I visited Switzerland I would never want to come home. It looks soooooooo beautiful there!
