Hello,
I was wondering if anyone is planning on attending this event. I just heard about it on the radio. below is the link.

The 19th Annual Connecticut Pet Show, TICA Cat Show, AKC & RARE Dog Show

our "monster" needs all the socialization she needs so we will be there.

GO! Take tons of pictures too. So much fun to do events like this with our dogs.

we were leaning Sunday. glad to hear its a good one to attend.

we will be hitting one at Big E in November too.

Do you ever watch NatGeo channel? Expedition wild? I read that Casey Anderson with his grizzly bear Brutus will be there on Sat I think...Can't wait to see him , he's HUGE!

And I always hit the Nov cluster show,,this year take note, it's begins the day after thanksgiving, vs the week before

Another fun event that I always hit, at the Big E, is Nov 11-14, the Equine Affaire.
If your into "horses" of any type, it's HUGE,,also sheep herding demos, lots of hands on horses/ponies etc.. Fun for the kids

yeah, I know that show is thanksgiving weekend.

so how was it?

we are heading out shortly

your probably already there,,,had a good time,,got my book signed by casey anderson, nice guy

Lots of freebies, and of course spent way to much money on dog and cat "stuff"..supported our local k9 unit bought two shirts,,loved the dock diving,,

How'd you guys make out??

We were there mostly to socialize Fanta. She did very well. Except for when we were trying on a walking harness. Dude was nice but she still got stressed out. My fault for even making her do it.
I almost signed her up for dock diving practice but the line was bit long. she would have done great.
We were looking for leather leashes but no luck.
I was actually disappointed with how small it was. One at Big E dwarfs that one.

oh definately the big e is much more dog geared,,and actually this year, there were some vendors missing that carried things like good collars and leashes..

I just bought a new one and LOVE IT! It's made of Biothane..if you do a google search you should find someone who sells them, altho the girl I bought mine from is going to be in Springfield..

Did you see the Shiloh Shepherds?? A couple of pretty ones, but felt bad, they were pretty stressed out..

Glad Fanta did well except for the walking harness,,I 'll bet it was crowded again today)

Will touch base with you before the Big E,,maybe we can meet up

I would love to meet up at Big E. we will be going on Saturday or Sunday (have to work Friday).

I saw the Shiloh Shepherds, pretty impressive dogs. The biggest one didnt like Fanta much as he showed her his pearly whites so we kept walking.
I must say that we met quite a few GSDs, a lot more than we did at Big E last year. However none were as pretty as our girl. LOL

of course they weren't as pretty as fanta)

I saw quite a few gsd's on Sat, they were am lines getting ready to show people in the ring the gsd dawg,,I shoulda brought Masi since of course she is also much prettier than the ones I saw..
