About us…
My name is Jessica and Woody owns me. 🙃 I created Woody’s page right when I got him as a puppy and we’ve made so many friends on this platform. We moved to Nashville when Woody was around 10 months old and have been here since. When we moved here, I started looking on IG for other local Cavaliers (we were following a few). We met Heather and Berkley @berkleythecav initially plus a few other pups/humans. This got our wheels turning and Heather and I started @nashvillecavaliers which is a local Cavalier Meetup Group. As of today, we have around 400 members that are in the middle TN area. I’m truly thankful for this wonderful IG community because we made so many friendships online and locally. We are excited to be your hosts this year for Secret Santa and can’t wait for the fun to start!
-Jessica & Woody
The human behind the camera and lucky owner of these boys is me, Heather Edens (and my husband Anthony). I originally created Berkley’s instagram account because he was taking over my own feed, and I LOVE documenting all the memories and looking back at the posts!
Our sweet Berkley passed earlier this year and will forever live on in our hearts and this account.
Without Berkley I would have never met Jessica, Woody and our entire Cavalier community! Jessica reached out and we connected via IG. Completely out of my character I agreed to come to W’s birthday party not knowing anyone …even Jessica in person at that time! Well, the rest is history b/c we hit it off, becoming best friends, and created the best Cavalier meet up group @Nashvillecavaliers. The group is around 400 members that are in the middle TN area. I’m so truly thankful for this wonder IG community and the friendships we have created! We are excited to be your hosts this year for Secret Santa and can’t wait for the fun to start!
-Heather, Benson & Balis
We wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for Christina and Kingsley (@LordKingsley)
We would like to thank them for trusting us with carrying on the tradition of this event. Christina and Kingsley inherited Secret Santa in 2015 and carried on the tradition through Christmas 2023. We hope we make you proud!
