Our Austin Pet Expo Adventure | Part II

Over the weekend, we visited the Austin Pet Expo here in town. There were lots of animals and vendors. We shared part one of our expo visit yesterday. You can read it here if you missed it. I decided to break our pet expo adventure up into two parts since I have so much to share about it.

Today, I wanted to share the awesome pet bloggers that we got to meet at the expo. I have never really had the opportunity to meet any pet bloggers in person, so it was an awesome experience.

The first blogger that I got to meet was Liz from the blog For the Love of Beagle. Liz is a pet blogger from San Antonio who also owns Snaggle Foot Dog Walks & Pet Care. She's a dog walker and pet sitter that offers a variety of services. If you're in San Antonio, you should check out Snaggle Foot.

I've been following For the Love of Beagle for a few months now and am happy to have connected with Liz in the real world. Liz brought along her adorable little beagle Dexter. Can I just say that I love Dexter? He was so sweet and well mannered. And not to mention super handsome.

I also got to meet Preston from Preston Speaks and his human mom, Rachel. I met them briefly last year when I attended too. It was nice to meet a fellow Petties Award nominee. Preston Speaks is in the running for Best Dog Blog this year.

My daughter has been a fan of Preston's since last year. She has been asking me for weeks if Preston was going to be at the expo again this year.

The final pet blogger that I got to meet was Christy from Sassmuffins. Christy had a booth at the expo to showcase her gorgeous pet beds. I have been following Christy's blog at Sassmuffins for at least a year now I think. It's been a long time, so it's hard to remember exactly.

We chatted with each other for quite a while. I felt bad taking up so much of her valuable expo time, but I felt like we could have probably chatted for a very long time. I should have taken some more photos of her stuff, but I was too busy talking. Let me just say that Christy's pet beds are top notch! I don't know how to sew, but my mother does and she was pretty amazed with Christy's beds. She makes a lot of other cool things too, like toys, bandanas, and blankets.

She also had some bandanas for sale that were pretty cool. First of all, they are super cute. They attach to your dog's collar and come with a QR code sewn onto the back. You can make a special video or voice recording that can be viewed when you scan the QR code with your phone. I thought it was a brilliant and creative idea.

And that's it for the pet bloggers that I got to meet this year. Hopefully I will meet them again in the future. Maybe even next year when we attend again.
