I went to see the Olate Dogs Rescue Tour over the weekend! What a FUN show! Olate Dogs won the 2012 season of “America’s Got Talent” and who could not fall in love with these adorable pups? All are poodles/poodle mixes rescued from shelters and trained by Richard Olate to do the most amazing tricks! They walk on their hind legs, jump rope, do back flips, go down the sliding board, join together for a 3-doggie conga line, ride scooters and so much more! You can tell that the dogs are loving every minute of it, too! Tails wagging like crazy! “Professional” cameras were not allowed in the theater (BOO!) and I have several failed attempts of shots with the phone and point ‘n shoot camera. I snuck this shot with the “Professional” Canon 7D just to have a remembrance! Wish I had more pictures to share, but this is about it! That’s Bella on the left, Oso the white Standard Poodle, Richard, and I think he’s holding Willy. Love these dogs!

The CFA (Cat Fanciers’ Association) World Cat Show was held this past weekend at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, Oaks, Pa. It’s a huge event with two cat shows running simultaneously and a total of 16 rings. In addition, there is a “Meow Mall” for shopping, cat agility, lectures, demonstrations, and more! Here’s a beautiful Oriental taking center stage in judge Bob Zenda’s ring.

Here are Lourdes Edlin and her high flying Frisbee dog, Mac, entertaining the crowd at The National Dog Show Presented by Purina. Challenging to photograph, but oh so much fun to watch!

So what are you going to be doing right after watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade next Thursday? Stay tuned to NBC at noon (in all time zones) and watch The National Dog Show Presented by Purina where the greatest dogs in the country compete for Best in Show! The event was filmed last Saturday at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, Oaks, Pa., and all of the dogs are exceptional! Plan to tune in and cheer for your favorite breeds!

The National Dog Show is a GREAT place to visit if you are interested in meeting and learning about breeds! The Expo Center at Oaks, Pa. was packed over the weekend as folks got up close and personal with the dogs, their owners and/or handlers. Cameras were everywhere and the dogs were happy to oblige photo requests whenever possible! This Bedlington Terrier is ready for a close up!
