This time of year it's kind of hard to find things to do. For the past few weekends the weather has been particularly nasty. But this weekend is fab! It was actually 74 degrees yesterday. We busted out of the house and headed over to the Hampton Convention Center for the World of Pets Expo.
I really wasn't intending to go this year as my interest is mostly in turtles these days and I didn't see anything about turtles on their website. But a co-worker told me that they were going to have a reptile section with turtle displays so I quickly changed my mind. I was so looking forward to seeing some cute little fellows and also I'm searching for a local reptile vet.
The entry line was amazingly long. And almost everyone had their dog with them. Dogs of all varieties and states of dress abounded! Of course I took some photos. Not my best work as the dogs were quite excited and I had to work in between lots of human legs!

There was also a show called Johnny Peers Muttville Comix. The dogs were great and the crowd loved the show.

One of the most popular events was the Dock Dogs competition. I have seen the Dock Dogs in the past and it's always a good time. I always get a kick out of the doggie "swimsuits". I'd love to get one for Chloe but it might be best to not draw attention to her full figure!

All in all it was a fun event. There were snakes, mice, miniature horses and even some camels in addition to the cats and dogs. The petting zoo had just about any animal you could think of to pet. I especially loved the baby goats and miniature horses. I would be very happy to bring them home with me. The only disappointment I had was in not seeing even one single turtle. Guess I need to look for a Reptile Expo.
