Pet Expo-ialidocious

So I popped over to the big Pet Expo in Costa Mesa today. My mom was co-pilot in the pet adventure. I had never been to this event before and it was pretty fun. The fairgrounds are nice and there was a really big Adoptable Pet presence. Hooray!


Rio the Super Duper Therapy Dog was helping to raise funds for the Therapy Dogs of Southern California. They had a bunch of really sweet dogs in attendance. Check out their website. [link]

The group had trading cards made with all their therapy dogs. I picked up one for Rio. Check out super dog's story (from the back of the card):

I started my life/career as a puppy in the guide dog program and at about a year old I had a career change to a Therapy Dog. I love to visit and do tricks for all the children in the hospital. I also love Flyball tournaments, to run and fetch the tennis ball, play in the water at the beach and travel in my R.V...


My mom & I checked out the Splash Dog antics for a wee while. I am assured that my hee haw is renewed for at least a month.

Lest y'all think that I do not have an adoptable for viewing...

Meet Cami

We watched this little gal be the demo dog for a training seminar and I gotsta tell ya. She is a winner. Very sharp in the ol' noggin and very well balanced. There was plastic sheeting from the stage blowing all around her and she was not phased at all. She was super responsive during the 20 minute demo session. I was informed that she does very well around other dogs and noticed her later (in a small run with about 5 other dogs) being very well behaved.

So you say you are ready to seal the deal...
She is in the care of the Riverside Animal Shelter. [link]

Her collar tag showed #2747. She is a 4 yr old female that has been microchipped & spayed. I am not sure if she will be brought back to the Pet Expo for Sat. & Sun but you can probably call the shelter and check to see if she is being taken there over the weekend.

If you want to get out to a fun fuzzle festival this weekend and Costa Mesa is just way too far - you are in luck my friend. Woofstock is happening Saturday at Balboa Park and for a mere $5.00 you can have the fair feeling right in our own gem of a park. [link]
