Pookie and I went to the Super Pet Expo today. We got there around 12:30pm and left at 6:30pm. It was a very long day for both of us. Pookie was such a good boy, allowing so many people to pet him and even hold him. He never once had even a faint gray beard; it was mostly white with a few moments of his happy yellow/orange specks. He even took a brief nap on my arm while I walked around looking for a place to sit for lunch.
We first saw a monkey (can't remember what type; it was little), then all different types of parrots, then we watched a bunch of dogs playing in the "park". It took longer to walk up/down the aisles this year than last year because we kept getting stopped for petting, questions, and photos. We got to see a pet fashion show, which was cute with the dogs and their owners dressed alike. Pookie was bored with this show because he couldn't see the dogs unless they were medium sized (we were standing behind the 4 rows of seats); this was when he decided to take a nap.
We went to visit the NJSPCA booth and amazed everyone there. We got to take a photo with the Capt.
Later on, we watched a reptile show where the guy had a baby crocodile, chinchilla, tortoise, legless reptile, scorpion, and an albino ball python. Of course, before the show started, a lot of the audience were aww'ing and ooh'ing over Pookie, and he ended up being part of the show (only in name).
Oh, I just remembered something. Last night, before Pookie fell asleep, I told him that I was going to take him to the expo, then told him of how he had so much fun last year with all of the people and dogs and birds and fish. When I was done talking to him, I noticed that his beard was all speckled with yellow and orange, where it was white before I started to tell him about the expo.
Have I told you guys lately that I love my Pookster?
