I just got back from the Expo. I did take Murphy. Before I went I went to Petco I bought a front carrier. I wanted to see if he would stay in it before we went. He did so I took him. (They sold them at the Expo, I was happy they were the same price.) I was glad I had the carrier, too many people to let him walk.
I didn't buy much either. I bought belly bands from the Yorkie Rescue. (That's the reason I really wanted to take Murphy.) They were all too small, so one of the ladies are going to make Murphy some that fit. I also bought Oxyfresh tooth gel. Murphy played in the playground twice. I would leave when there were too many dogs, and then come back. I was also surprised that all the dogs there were well behaved. I left when it started to get too crowded. I was also very hot and had to park so far away I had to wear my coat. Overall it was fun. I picked up many free samples of Nature Variety dry dog food, and a $5.00 coupon for the raw food he is eating, so I kind of recoup the entrance fee.
