Maryland’s own World
of Pets!
This weekend:
Friday; Saturday and Sunday, all day. January 25, 26 and 27.
Don’t want to spend another boring weekend this weekend?
Then take the whole family to the World of Pets at the Maryland State
Fairgrounds in Timonium, just north of the Baltimore beltway. Fido, included
(optional for him). Kids have a ball.
The World of Pets:
Where Education is Fun, and Tasty, too!
It is like hanging out at the state fair in winter, with
food galore, dog agility, and shopping
for dog treats, cats, ferrets, birds, reptiles, gerbils, and guinea pigs.
The 18th annual pet expo this year, as last year,
features Dock Diving for Dogs, the newest dog sport and fun for everyone. Cheer
on your favorite canine competitor. Some
of them even wear swimsuits!
Even the videos on YouTube are
fun!
Agility trials will also take place all three days here and
at the Westminster Kennel Club show in New York City in February (where
All-American dogs will compete too), so, get a leg up and learn all about
agility. This is the sport where dogs run through tunnels, jump on tables and
lie down, race over an A-frame, weave through poles and even high jump – all
for the best time – and have fun doing it.
Shopping Extravaganza
and Continuous Entertainment
Everyone's favorite, Dog is Good will be there with their new designs**.
Need a new dog leash, collar, coat, dogbed*, antler (to chew), or toy? Or a gnawler? Or even a dog? The Maryland SPCA will be there. So will Pinups

Want to learn more about rats and rabbits or tutles? By the
way, what’s a cavy? What’s a sugar glider?
