Dear Kid,

The point of the Global Pet Expo was not just to walk new blisters onto my feet (yes, I was wearing sneakers, but still…) and not just to gawk at the concept of dog bikinis (although that was fun, too).

Yes, I went to Global Pet Expo in Orlando. DearKidLoveMom.com

Global was all about finding products to carry in one’s business.

The really cool ones I can’t tell you about and the boring ones are…boring. So I won’t bother telling you about them (you’re welcome).

There were a couple of things that surprised me.

In the aquarium/fish/aqua section there were jellyfish displays with weird lights. You know how I feel about jellyfish, but as art it was pretty cool.

There were also rescue puppies for adoption in a couple of booths (can I get a “way to go” and a couple of “awwwws”?).

Yes, I stopped to hold puppies for a while. No, I did not bring one home. DearKidLoveMom.com

Yes, I stopped to hold some of the puppies. No, I did not bring one home.

There were some really good seminars and some fun products.

You got a letter today. It tasted important. The Dog. DearKidLoveMom.com

And the trip home was highly uneventful (yay!), until the Puppy started sniffing around my suitcase (yes, I brought treats for him).

Love, Mom
