    Green Bean REALLY wanted to come and help raise money for the rescue again, too bad it's just too far for us!

        I wish I could go; lived in Minneapolis for 15 years prior to moving to Indiana and I miss it dreadfully! If anyone is considering traveling to this event, Minneapolis has fabulous restaurants, arts culture, and nightlife.

            I went a few years ago when I was living there, was my first pet expo. had a blast but learned to never bring my dogs there with me again (we had entered a few of the contests). I couldn't go 5 ft w/o someone stopping us.............lol. I think it took us 4 hrs to make it thru the whole thing. I probably saw your booth there.

            Glad I learned my lesson too b/c the one here near Chicago is 3x as big............if I tried bringing Gunther with me here.........I would need the entire day to get thru...........lol. The one here is in 2 wks hoping to make it.

            I only have one complaint about the expo there.........and its nothing about the expo, more one of the booths. I can't remember the vet clinic it was but I saw them at a few events I went to around the area. They always commented at how puny/small Gunther was which I found very insulting...........esp since he is completely average in size, not big or small. I guess one of the workers had a brindle dane that must have been 38" or more since he was apparently several inches taller than Gunther is.
