I’ve been in Orlando for the past three days working with a client at the Global Pet Expo.  Incredible would be an understatement.

People from the pet industry come from every corner of the earth to learn, share, sell and do business.  This is a business event.  I would say that the people I’ve met from this industry are some of the nicest people you can imagine.  There’s a real sense of community.

It’s my impression that this industry is booming.  When people have to choose how to spend their discretionary dollars, they don’t skimp on toys and comfort for their dogs, cats, birds, fish, you name it.  The only bad thing about the show is that it’s so big, there’s no way you can see every company display.  The pet industry is passionate and it shows.  Here’s an economic sector that rolls on every day.  We treat our animals well and our pets are part of our family.  Awesome!
