Immediate Release:

Online expos offer international exposure, contact and ease of access without the expense and hassle of travel and lodging hassle

With the cost of petroleum rising to critical mass, and the expense of running a business rising to match, there had to be a better way for dog businesses and aficionados to connect. No sooner than we can pose a problem in the 21st century the solution is often immediately before us and this is no exception. The 1st Annual Online Dog Expo is taking shape to bridge the gap over international waters with only a computer and internet access.

Yep, that’s me singing happy birthday to myself, hehe. Dad took this picture of me on my birthday, which they just celebrate on August 3rd since I’m adopted and they don’t know my REAL birthday. Anyway, I chose this photo to go with this week’s Animal Talk Naturally! bepaws I’m singing for the truths Dogtor J shared with us this month! This was rrreally eye-opening for Mom & Jeannie, especially since in Mom’s and Dr. Elliot’s book, Whole Health for Happy Dogs, they say we should be spayed and/or neutered. I’m neutered sigh. Oh we are not talking about being irresponsible but rather about HEALTH and TRUTH. What is truth? Well, you should know it IS absolute -whether you believe that or not doesn’t negate it, WOOF! This is such a revelatory show that we know you may be provoked and may be irritated and may be doggone ticked off, but well it’s impawtant information to share. Here’s this week’s synopsis along with a couple of statements made by the Animal Rights Movement you should know before listening to this show:

“The cat, like the dog, must disappear… We should cut the domestic cat free from our dominance by neutering, neutering, and more neutering, until our pathetic version of the cat ceases to exist.” John Bryant, Fettered Kingdoms: An Examination of A Changing Ethic (Washington, DC: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA), 1982, p. 15.”It is time we demand an end to the misguided and abusive concept of animal ownership. The first step on this long, but just, road would be ending the concept of pet ownership.”Elliot Katz, President “In Defense of Animals,” Spring 1997

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASECanines have their own bakeries, hotels, and high fashion, so not surprisingly they are now taking over the internet with their own exposition

Albuquerque, NM August 8, 2006 - Dogs seem to have it all these days with special bakeries dedicated to them, haute` couture, along with special doggie daycares and hotels. With this in mind, it isn’t surprising that the next big thing for dogs would be their very own online exposition.

The first annual Virtual Dog Exposition will take place Friday September 22 through Sunday September 24, 2006. The weekend long event will kick off on Friday evening at 7PM EST at Virtual Dog Expo. Animal Talk Naturally online radio duet, Kim Bloomer & Jeannie Thomason, along with Co-op World’s Rob Anderson are hosting the event.
