America's Family Pet Expo  kicked off Friday and continues through this weekend (10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday) . These border collie pups above are just a sample of the great pets you can see at the expo.

Set up on the Orange County fair grounds in Costa Mesa, this is one of the biggest pet events all year, complete with hundreds of dog and cat rescue groups, pet demonstrations, and a dazzling array of pet products.

There were "Pet hair eraser" Bissel vacuums, kitty kamodes, "Sleepy Pod" mobile pet beds, dog houses shaped like football team helmets, and collars and leashes galore. There were lots of free samples of foods and treats, 

Toyota was on hand for a special showing of its Venza (for media only), a crossover SUV that comes with dog-friendly accents (backseat hammocks, car seats for small dogs, etc.).

I'll post separately about some of the booths and other highlights at the fair. But check it out yourself if you have some time this weekend, head south on the 405, stimulate the economy and enjoy.

About the Bloggers

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
