I took Mom to the World of Pets Expo today - potentially disastrous - but we had an excellent time. It was amazingly crowded. no parking, absolutely packed, you couldn't budge in there. And roughly every other person brought at least one dog. Finding a seat for an event or getting close enough to see what was going on was pretty difficult. But there was just so much furry and friendly everywhere, ah, how wonderful. We forgot to shop on the way out (I wanted some silly car magnets & things of such manner, and we never found anyone selling dog blankets) but we did pick up little portable moist heat items. Hopefully these will be good for my hands. We stopped at Bertucci's on the way home and were absolutely blown away by our appetizer, roasted artichoke fonduta. Really awesome stuff. Mom wants the recipe.
