BarkWorld 2013

Are you ready to see another PepperPom adventure?  Here's BarkWorld 2013!

Mom packed a lot of stuff into our little car, including my Dogger Stroller.   Then we went for a loooooooong car ride to Atlanta, GA. 

When we arrived, my pal Emmy was already there.  She is so nice, and gives excellent tushie scritches!  BOL!  Emmy brought my favorite hamster - Charlotte - with her.

The photo is blurry because Charlotte was busy exercising while Mom was using the camera.  BOL!  The next day we had a fun and busy time.  We speed-dated several great companies, and went to a pawty sponsored by Natural Balance.   On Friday and Saturday I enjoyed sniffing all of the sponsors' booths.

I posed with StarWars Princess Leia buns on my head at the Petco booth.  Look at all the pawsome StarWars pet products!  I LOVE the toys!!  BOL!  These furrific toys and other StarWars pet items will be available at Petco and Unleashed by Petco on September 1.    I will bark more about them before Halloween. 

We attending some educational sessions, including one about positive training.  I volunteered to be a demo dog.  

I showed people that I could "come" to Mom when called.   Mom made me walk a long way to reach her and the treats.

 Victoria Stilwell autographed her new book for me. 

  Oz and I posed with our moms in front of the 3M Pruven booth.

  Garth and I posed with our moms near the Petco booth.

This is my cute little pal Sophia Loren.  People think we look alike, except that I am MUCH larger.   BOL!!

My Pom stuffie and I had a pawsome time at BarkWorld 2013! 

I will bark more about some furrific products I saw and used at BarkWorld, plus I will giveaway some BarkWorld swag later this week.
