i just got a new puppy and im dying to show him off 
we're gonna take tons of pics w/gus the brahman steer lol who cares about the reptile show tho 
idk why people would wanna watch snakes or whatever 
anywayz gotta get my hubby to sign up for one of those dog performances w/dynamo disc dogs that sounds SO much fun!! 
and yay free admission 4 kids under 3 
cant wait 2 see all the cute animals & meet some new ppl
and I heard there's gonna be a live performance by Dynamo Disc Dogs? That's like, so cool 
! and can we talk about the rabbit hopping agility demos? my little niece loves rabbits 
. I've been thinking of getting a pet for ages but I don't know where to start... this expo is gonna be a lifesaver 
! I'm planning to go with my fam on Sat and Sun, can't wait to meet Gus the Brahman steer 
!
gotta love seeing all those adorable pets and learning about their adoption stories 
I'm actually kinda hyped about this pet expo! 
with all the dog performances and agility demos. but what really gets me excited is that they're featuring adoptable animals from local rescue groups - my family has a cat at home who's been with us since she was a kitten, so it's always awesome to see people giving homes to pets in need 
" it's already been a few days ago and I'm only hearing about it now 
. and yay for the free admission on Friday, that's awesome for families with little ones 
. also, partnering with local rescue groups is really great, it's always good to see ppl supporting pet adoption 
... or is that just a cop-out? Maybe it'll actually bring everyone together and create some amazing experiences? But on the other hand, wouldn't all those extra people make it harder for me to take a selfie with Gus the Brahman steer 
Or will I love every minute of it and want to go back next year?
