The Pet Expo is Coming to Town

It’s hard to believe it’s time for America’s Family Pet Expo to come to town again.  I’ve participated for 7 or 8 years now, and can tell you first hand, it’s a great way to spend an afternoon.  Actually, the afternoons get really crowded (think wall-to-wall people) so if you can make it earlier in the day, you’ll get around a lot easier. 

The Expo is a ton of fun.  There's shows and demonstrations all day long and you can get up close to your favorite dog & cat breeds.  There's reptiles (that’s me with Lucy a 35 year old Rhino Iguana last year – I’m the redhead by the way). bunnies, birds, fish and every kind of pet imaginable.  The animal shelters and rescue groups are there with homeless pets, looking for homes. There’s also a petting zoo, pony rides for the kids and lots and lots of vendors selling everything from collars to canine couture. If you have questions about your pet’s food, you can talk directly to the pet food manufacturers.  But leave your pet at home; they only allow animals that are being exhibited on the grounds.

The Pet Expo starts tomorrow and runs all weekend.  It's at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa.  I’ll be in the Wheaten Terrier booth with Avalon.  Stop by and say hi.
