I'm still trying to absorb the fact that it's been a month since I was in Orlando at Global Pet Expo. Where or where does the time go?
I had a amazing time while in Orlando. Met new people. Got introduced to many new products. And, kept my eye open for some of the fun things that are found at a trade show that is nearly 15 football fields large with over 2400 booths!
For 2012, here are 6 product related things I found that I felt I need to share:
Most interesting Idea from SignatureDNA - artwork made from your pet's DNA
Best Utility Belt from Waglet Works - especially for active dog parents.
Welcome to something new I'm trying out. I keep finding myself coming up with blog posts and then not having taking the time to post them. To help with that, I'm starting a series I'm calling Monday Musings. This will be mainly short video clips of pets - mine and other people's - doing funny things. This first one was already touted and put on the BlogPaws Facebook page, but I find it cute so I am sharing it here too. Keep checking back on Mondays for more cute videos and/or pictures.
I swear Onyx wants a Cat. It's not just me, although I really want a Cat too! Whenever Pandora (aka The Grumpy Old Lady) comes upstairs he gets so excited. He followers her around with his tail wagging so hard I sometimes think he might take flight! :) Enjoy!
Flat Twiggy and Onyx got to play with some really large flat wild life this past weekend at the American Animal Hosital Association's annual conference. It's the only time the Prarie Dog has the upper hand on Twiggy!
A week ago today we had just gotten back from our Global Pet Expo trip where Flat Twiggy and Flat Onyx had some great adventures. It was a blast and they can't wait to do it again next year! Check out their adventures:
Flat Twiggy and Flat Onyx sure had a grand time in Orlando last week for Global Pet Expo. Later this week - possibly in time for Wordless Wednesday, but no guarantees - we'll share our complete adventures in a video. Until then, I had to share a few of my favorites:
Wow. The last 3 days have been so crazy. Global Pet Expo had the largest show to date. According to their press release the show featured "894 pet product exhibitors and 2,484 booths." I tried to get through the whole floor, but I know there are things I did not see. The exhibit hall was the size of 15 football fields - 15!!
I, of course, had my eye out for Twiggy related stuff. My latest thing is to find something I can add to her food that will entice her to eat it (she's quite picky) AND be good for her. To that effect I found a few products, but this is the one I like the most. BlogPaws even gave it The BlogPaws Best 2012 award for Best Pet Condiment, and they were excited about that! Check out BlogPaws giving Vita Gravy their award and their "acceptance" speech.
I had a blast at the show and I'll be doing a post about my top favorite things, like I did last year. Stay tuned!
I'm currently sitting in the Retailers Excellence Awards at the Global Pet Expo (GPE). We got to hear more about HABRI, Human Animal Bond Initiative. I LOVE this and I encourage all of you to take a moment and learn more about it. I'll share more thoughts on it when I return from the whirl wind that is GPE!
