Assuming that my health is OK, I'll be there. I might even go both days.

How far is Abbotsford from Langley? I would love to go, it sounds like a lot of fun. What exactly do they have going on? I have never heard pet expo.

[wolfsoul]

Abbotsford isn't far from Langley at all, though I'm not sure exactly how far --- slick will be able to tell you I'm sure.

It is awesome, there are big booths with many different things --rescues, breed clubs, pet foods, etc. There are demos like agility, drug detection, flying disc...And there are a TON of free samples. Last time I went I had a HUGE bag just full of free stuff. There are lots of different kinds of animals -- in 2005 when I went last there was a huge reptile booth, with a ton of snakes, and even a huge tortoise. And you can buy things too. It's alot of fun.

VANCOUVER ATTENDEES! Bring Your Pets!

That sounds like fun! Can I still bring the kids if I don't live in Vancouver?

[wolfsoul]

I wondered the same thing but I doubt it'd be a problem -- how are they really going to prove we aren't from Vancouver? I think I may just bring Visa. Visa is good and stable but Solo is still just a pup and going through a fear stage, I'm worried the hussle and bussle might frighten him and make him dislike Tradex.

[Flatcoatluver]

Why do they only want Vancouver pets? Is it because this is only for Vancouver residents.

[wolfsoul]

Nope, people travel from all over to go there -- many of the booths are owned by businesses that are not in Vancouver.

I'll be there! I'll bring Kai and Mal pup too. I'll try to drag along the boyfriend so I can bring Kaedyn too.

Is anyone else from the shop coming Jordan? Wanna stay over??

[wolfsoul]

Looks like I'm out. I forgot we have an agility trial that day.

[Flatcoatluver]

I'm out too... Ends up being I have to go and do a demo. Maybe next year when I can drive.

[tikeyas_mom]

oh noo jordan you poo head!!!
I probably wont be able to go because of the "money situation"... Maybe next year *pout*

[slick]

BUMP.....because it's this weekend!!!!

[binka_nugget]

I'll be there on Saturday after 12ish. I'm gonna bring the Shelties.
