Dear Kid,
Did I tell you I went to Orlando for the Global Pet Expo?
There isn’t much related to pets that isn’t at Global (I’m an insider now, so I can use the diminutive).
Stuff for fish? Yep; proceed to the Aqua section. Bunny, ferret, gerbil stuff? Yep; proceed to vendors who offer things for small animals. Cat stuff? By the boatload. Even coops and ramps for chickens (I kid you not).
But mostly Global is about dogs.
At Global, one can find everything a dog might need (the Puppy now has a new collar), and many, many, many things that no dog ever needs.
And some things that made me smile, like Dean Russo art. As a matter of fact, the artist himself was at the show and signed a print for me (yay!).
There are really creative displays hoping to capture your attention. Which is not easy because this thing is huge. Big. Ginormous. Sneakers required. Except by the people who run the thing—they used Segways.
Not only were there about a zillion people at Global, there were a surprising number of dog attendees. Some were acting like dogs.
Others, not so much.
