EVENT: GLOBAL PET EXPO
FEB 29TH – March 2nd 2012 and FEBRUARY 20 -22ND 2013
ORANGE COUNTY CONVENTION CENTRE – ORLANDO, FLORIDA.
Whilst this show is a trade only exhibition it’s still worth a look at the website – in particular make sure you read the Show Shakedown Blog where you will hear all about TODAY SHOW journalist and correspondent Jill Rappaport, whose main focus of work changed radically when her dog Jack was diagnosed with Bone Cancer. What comes out of this for me though is actually how the pet industry is about so much more than making money; it’s about people who really care….

THE LONDON PET SHOW
THIS YEAR I AM TAKING MY CHILDREN TO THE LONDON PET SHOW… THINK ABOUT IT… IT’S A CHILD’S FANTASY WORLD WHERE ANIMALS ABOUND AND ARE YET HELD IN THE HIGHEST ESTEEM. THEY’LL GET THE CHANCE TO SEE AND HOLD, TO LEARN ABOUT CARE AND LOVE… A FAMILY TICKET (2 ADULTS AND 2 CHILDREN) COSTS £41 IF YOU BUY IN ADVANCE. IT WILL BE SOMETHING THEY WILL NEVER FORGET AND WHO KNOWS WHERE IT MIGHT LEAD…. YEARS AGO WE WERE ONCE TAKEN TO A SMALL LOCAL PET SHOW AND MY BROTHER WAS ASKED TO HELP ONE OF THE VETS THERE – I THINK HE HELD SOME SMALL ITEM FOR HIM. BUT ALL THE SAME HE WAS CAPTIVATED AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I’M NOT GOING TO GIVE PRIZES FOR YOU GUESSING WHAT HE GREW UP TO BE!!!

MOVE OVER THE OLYMPICS….. IF YOU LOVE ANIMALS THEN LONDON IS THE PLACE TO BE AS ON 12TH AND 13TH MAY 2012 THE LONDON PET SHOW IS BEING HELD AT EARLS COURT – YES IT IS GOING TO BE THAT BIG AN EVENT! WE ARE PROMISED AN EXCITING PROGRAMME TOO WITH FOUR MAIN AREAS OF INTEREST AND THESE ARE DOGS, CATS, SMALL FURRIES, EXOTICS AND AQUATICS. DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I THERE’S GOING TO BE SO MUCH GOING ON IT’S WORTH CONSIDERING A STOPOVER…
