Yeah, unfortunately Vancouver crowds can be overwhelming. I was walking around trying to find you two.....
Anyway, I had a snake around my neck, a bird on my hand and got some birdie kisses, got numerous doggy kisses, pet a rather large rattie, and touched a goat, a rabbit and a cow. They had a mini petting zoo set up and I just couldn't resist. 
A friend of mine runs an organization called VOKRA (Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Assoc.) and she had some 5 day old kittens there that she was feeding. Talk about cuteness overload.
Oh and guess what?????? IT RAINED TODAY........
Oh yeah and the best part....when I went up to the booth to pay my entrance fee I remarked that I had grey hair and could I get in at the pensioner's rate? She said sure......so I saved $2.00. LOL
Edit....I was just watching the evening news and they did a piece on the Pet Expo. Apparently Dr. Phil was also at the convention centre for a day-long seminar and the only way he could get to the room is through the Expo. It seems that our Dr. Phil has a problem with animals and hates to see them so officials had to put up a black curtain so he could walk through without seeing any furry friends. Hey Dr. Phil? You got a problem with pets? Maybe you need some counselling!!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened.
