Atlanta Pet Expo Fun!

Last weekend Cosmo and I headed to the Atlanta Pet Expo, a pet-friendly event filled with lots of fun exhibits and games for you and your pet!  You can find out if there's a Pet Expo coming to your area on AtlantaPetExpo.com and look for the list of upcoming shows at the bottom left.

Cosmo met Shorty from Animal Planet's Pit Boss and Shorty's Pit Bull Rescue.

Shorty signed autographs... that's Hercules in the background.

There were also lots of pet rescue groups and adoptable dogs and cats from all over the state. This is Tiki from Dream Dachshund Rescue.

We also met Matilda, a sweet senior dog from Small Dog Rescue, who also is looking for her furever home.

Cosmo visited with the folks from Good Mews, who have plenty of sweet kitties to adopt.

We've also been asked about the harness Cosmo wore at this event. You can see the Rock Star label in this photo. And on the other side...

... it says Cosmo Havanese! We bought our Julius K9 Harness and ordered the custom name plates from Canis Callidus. Cosmo wears a size Mini.

The Expo also featured an agility demonstration from AKC Canine Partners, the American Kennel Club's program for mixed-breed dogs.

There was also lots more fun and games, including Doxie races, musical chairs and also information about training and supplies. Here, Cosmo hangs with his pal after competing in the Doxie Dash ... yes, all breeds were allowed to compete!

Dog Toys We Love: Interactive Dog Toys from Canis Callidus

When we go to agility trials, we spend around two minutes actually competing each day and the rest of the time visiting with friends, chatting about agility strategy and checking out the vendors. This weekend we met, Jasmin Bergermann, founder of Canis Callidus -- The Smart Dog, and got the chance to check out some cool interactive toys we've never seen before.

Take a look...

We've enjoyed playing with the Nina Ottosson toys before, but the Games4Brain and Dog-Intelligenz toys were new to us and very impressive. Check out more of the toys at www.caniscallidus.com. Cosmo also managed to snag quite a few samples of the Blissful Biscuits Peanut Butter Bits. He highly recommends them!

Now let's go to the hop!
