Big pet expo coming to Atlanta

This sounds like a very cool day trip or weekend trip for the whole family - pets included, of course.

Pets and More USA Expo is coming to the North Atlanta Trade Center in Norcross, Ga., on Friday, May 1. The expo will be from Friday to Sunday (May 1-3) and sounds like it will offer everything pet-related that you can think of (at least, that I can think of.)

Like what? Pet adoptions, a micro-chip clinic, a "Muttallica" dog sport and comedy show, vendors (pet wear, vacuums, toys, jewelry, pet insurance, pet furniture, behavioral books and videos, etc.), a reptile exhibit, agility and other educational demonstrations, an art contest, and of course, dog contests for cash and prizes. There will be a "Leave It" contest, "Longest Stay" contest and "I'm So Ugly, I'm So Cute" contest, just to name a few.

The big attraction, I think, will be the featured guests. Joel Silverman, host of Animal Planet's Good Dog U, will be conducting daily demonstrations on training your dog. Atlanta dog trainer Susie Aga will also be on hand.

It's $7 per day or $12 for a 3-day pass.

You can get more info on www.petsandmoreusaexpo.com. Oh, and you can print a $2 coupon off the Web site, too.
