The Great American Pet Expo at Navy Pier
Rocco was a guest along with The Intern on a playdate (at which they did not receive bones) at some point before his playdate in Chinatown.
The Chicagoist Intern, Marcus\' dog Franklin, at the start of the day
The playdate in the West Loop (which wasn\'t hosted by Kevin Robinson) wasn\'t attended by guest pet Betty (who was not hosted by Chuck on her playdate)
Joe Erbentraut\'s cat, Nora.
Joe Erbentraut\'s cat, Rudy.
Tankboy\'s mischievous and terrifyingly intelligent beagle, Betty.
Pickle the Kitten barely tolerates her dad, Tankboy.
Rocco was hosted by Karl Klockers (who hosted his playdate in Hyde Park) exactly five days after he was hosted by Tankboy but at some point before he was invited over by Marcus (who didn\'t invite Badger over as the other guest to the playdate he hosted).
Rocco had playdates in the West Loop and Lincoln Park on the 2rd and the 22rd, in some order.
Veronica Murtagh\'s dog, Stella.
Go ahead. Add an LOL caption to Aaron Cynic\'s cat, Questor.
Camela Furry\'s cats - she said \"Buster in front, Sasha in back.\" Do you have *any* idea how hard it was not to respond, \"How do you sasha?\" or not to make fun of Camela\'s last name when talking about her pets? Inner strength. Yoga has taught us much.
Rocco got a ball to play with on the 12th when he played with Emmy.
Annnnd maybe just one more of L.Stolpman\'s dog, Rocco. Mmm, gimme dat bone.
Rocco had a playdate in Logan Square exactly five days after he was hosted by Chuck (who gave Rocco and the other guest pet treats!) but exactly five days before he was given a shedding brush.
We love our pets here at Chicagoist and so we're excited that the Great American Pet Expo is coming to Navy Pier November 14th and 15th. The Expo will feature demonstrations and presentations on products and services for pet owners including: Pet foods and treats, beds, art, pet photographers, leashes for Fido and Fluffy, coats for your dog, etc. We may have heard some rumors about pet dancing. Yes. We saw that episode of King of the Hill, too.
We admit to taking a few pictures here and there of our monsters. If you do the same, you can enter the pet photography contest to win free tickets to the Expo. We decided to compile some of our favorite staff pet photos. Enjoy!
