I took Joey to Lake Worth (W.P.B.)
Today to attend Animal Planet Expo....we saw Every size and shape of Dog known to Dog kind...He really enjoyed himself....he is out cold on the couch as we speak...
They had exhibits,Frisbee Exhibitions,Pet Star was there holding auditions!!!
Emergency Vets had a booth,but no vets were there...Just a Lady handing out fliers...
Animal Precinct had a booth to get your dogs' I.D....not sure what that was...line was too long....
and Paws for a Cause was there...a Local Rescue Group...
They broke my heart...they had 3 Shep/Mixed Puppies there...all up for adoption....ALL 3 were Missing 1 or 2 legs....all hind legs....It was SOOOOOO SAD!!!!!
But they were Happy Little pups....and so Beautiful....
God,How I wanted to take them all and get them ALL little Carts...they had Nothing but Stubs where their legs should be...Oh how does This Happen??
I don't know if they were born that way or if it was abuse....I think I know...But didn't dare ask...The Pups got Tons of money in the donation box...I hope it helps them!!!
anyway...
It was a Nice Expo...other than that

I took a couple of pics...when Joey wasn't busy making friends!!!

Awww, Brock's cousin. LOL :D What a cutie, I'd take him home in a sec. Put a little weight on him and spoil him rotton.

When I started reading this thread, I already had it in my mind to ask you if you saw/found any dane's there. I should have known you would. :D

I wish I had known this was going on, this would have been the perfect weekend for me to go. Next time tell somebody!!! Please, with suger on top. :D I never saw it once on the TV. Maybe I need to watch TV more. ;)

Wonder if they'll be around next year?


I never hear about these dog events until the last minute, and then it's too late for me to go. I really need to watch more TV!:p

I am SOOO Sorry Guys!!!I should have thought of that!!!:o
Especially seeing how everyone was available,and it was being held both Sat.&Sun....
I guess when looking at where you all live,I thought it a bit far...
:o
Fox-Gal would be the closest,and thats' a Good 150 miles for her!!

We have alot of Dog Events down here...I am about 1 hour from The South Florida Fairgrounds.....
They are Always having Dog Shows,Agility Exhibitions,Fly Ball Tournaments.....I will have to be the So.Fl.RePawter I guess!!!;)

There was a Min Pin on Almost everybodys' shoulder!!!! Fox-Gal

MinPins Great Danes, next you'll tell me there was Boxers too!!!! I would have been in dog heaven.

It's really not that far for me, only about 1 1/2. I've done that drive just to go to the Fresh Produce store. (clothing store, not veggs. )

Next time thats a great idea to have a PT meet at a pet expo. We can all drool toghter and some one will be there to talk some sence into me when I want to take a Dane home. ;) ;)

Of course if you want to take one home, I'll be right there talking you into it. :p :p :D

I sat home all weekend, sense the husband was out of town, bored out of my mind and your off having fun with Danes, MinPins and Boxers etc. I'll remember that. :p ;) Just picking

If they ever come back again, I'm there, if someone I know informs me. ((hint hint));)

Fox-Gal,
Yes it was Doggie Delightful!!!!
I forgot...I stopped counting the j.Russels,collies,shelties,and Every Combo of Muttdom imaginable...
I wish I got a pic of the Pit/Bassett mix...I was embarassed to ask...Cause the Owner Looked Just Like Him!!!!!
It was Hysterical!!!!!

Yes,I know now that I did Wrong....I PROMISE to post whenever I hear of a Doggie event of ANY sort here!!!!

There wass even a Doberman that was I guess they call Lemon...or White....He was an odd color and had blue eyes...I thought he was Catahoula...Till I looked at his frame and snout...very interesting...
Did I mention how many Aussie sheperds,Cattle Dogs,Catahoulas',Rottweillers....Oh Stop me Please....

I'm not sure many PT'ers would try and talk someone out of adopting a dog... I think it'd be the other way around. :p
