I’m here in Las Vegas for the SuperZoo trade show! The event officially starts tomorrow, though there are some little things going on today. Here’s the gist: There are 2,170 booths of pet products (I packed comfy walking shoes) from 983 companies. Did you know there were even that many pet product manufacturers?! Holy moly. This is going to be a busy week!

My goal is to do some trend-spotting. I have writing assignments for a few freelance clients, but mostly I’m planning on gathering tons of fun info for the blog.

I don’t have much to report for day one, though! I got in last night and am still adjusting to the time zone (nearly fell asleep at 7 last night… definitely woke up at 4 this morning…) and all the Vegas craziness ($7 for a water…) but super excited for what’s ahead!

Missing these faces, though!

Although, I felt a bit like a traitor this morning when I happily woke up on my own rather than with a kitty chewing on my hair. It was kind of nice. 🙂

What do you guys want me to keep an eye out for? Any specific pet products, innovations, or trends you want me to try to spot? Or brilliant ideas for this year’s holiday gift guide?
