I had such a fun time at the pet expo yesterday! I got to pet a hairless cat, meet a pig who was on tv, and see a dachshund race. I talked to so many great pet parents about their furbabies (and scalebabies and featherbabies and so on). It was also great to connect with some really dedicated and passionate owners of pet businesses. It was a really great environment full of love and respect for animals. Here are some shots I took in between nuzzling tons of animals and drooling over dog treats that looked good enough to eat.

The Long Island Pet Expo is going on this Friday through Sunday at the Brentwood campus of Suffolk Community College. I've been to this event in the past and it's always a lot of fun. The first time I went to the expo, many years ago, I saw a cat training show. I was pretty amazed at what these cats could be trained to do, especially since I couldn't get mine to look at me when I said their names! The event isn't only for dog and cat owners, either. There is going to be a lot to see there for owners of rabbits, reptiles, birds and more. One time I went and there was a man who kept Madagascar hissing cockroaches for pets. He had them on bedazzled leashes, I KID YOU NOT. He wanted me to pet them and I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm an animal lover, but sometimes you have to draw the line. Turns out my line is right before cockroaches on leashes. There are vendors, shows, educational sessions and demonstrations going on all 3 days. I'm especially interested in learning about the pet CPR class that's being held, because I've been wanting to learn those skills, just in case I ever need them (and I hope I don't)! Leashed pets are welcome at the event, just not with retractable leashes. If you buy your ticket online, you get $2 off the admission price. You can find more information about the event here. I'll be visiting on Saturday. If you see me there, please say hi! I look like this and I'll probably have a camera swinging around my neck :) If you're interested in booking a pet portrait session with me, email laurapeaphotography@gmail.com

This Sunday the 16th, Echo Pharmacy in Miller Place is partnering with Pups for Parkinson's, Inc. to host a dog walk event from 10am-3pm. The walk will be held in Sylvan Park, which is located next to Echo Pharmacy. Funds raised will be donated to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. There will be contests, auctions, vendors, an agility course and more. I've donated a basket for them to include in their Chinese auction, with a free photo session and a $100 print credit.
