[ramanth]

bumpity bump.


Molly, will you guys still be able to make it out on Sunday? What time were thinking of arriving?

[crow_noir]

Wow! That's so weird that this was bumped today. (Then that i remembered to come browse around the Pet Talk Forums tonight. )

I was doing research for a small business and accidently ran across the main expo site and while browsing around found the pet expo listing.

LOL!!

You might as well come to the Expo since U of M is going to mop up the field with those OSU "players".

I will probably go. I am hoping that the Australian Shepherd "booth" is manned by the woman who owns a kennel near me.

Is the game on Saturday Tim? Andy and I are going to the expo Sunday only. Would love to meet you!

crow_noir, does that mean you're going?

Sadly we don't have the money. Besides, i think i'd go insane around that many people. I can handle the small shows at the Birch Run Expo Center for a few hours and i can handle going to the adopt-a-thons at PetsMart, but crowds of that size give me panic attacks. (I hope to God that i never have to be a refugee from a natural disaster or War!)

Besides i'm going to wait until i know everyone a bit better again before i decide if i'm goign to any gatherings or not. I know before i sure wanted to! There are some awesome peopel on this board... and best of all... You're animal people!!! I actually have somethign in common that i can talk about for hours.

I've gone to a few gatherings of an online hobby site i go to, but it's not one i can talk about for even an hour. Luckily not everyone is as obsessed about it as others and we can talk about other things. A few of them have their own pets, but not all. At least S.O. now knows that online people are not all insane and that i'm not crazy for wanting to go to gatherings. The last one he had fun at; I think he'd be more open to going to a Pet Talk gathering anyhow. He at least likes animals, where as he could care less about my other hobby.

So no on the expo, but it's a possibility i'll go to a future one if it's in MI. Further in the future i may even go out of state.

I believe this is an annual event. Well, I know that Mom and I went last year, anyway.

Maybe next year you can drop by.
