DAY 94

 

 

Today we attended Canada's National Pet Industry Trade Show at the International Centre across the road from Pearson International Airport in Toronto. This is the first time we are attending the show since selling our stores. It's nice to meet with, and visit, old business associates with the relationship no longer being predicated on them selling and us buying. Most are eager and pleased to hear about our new lifestyle, and the happiness it brings us. For more than a few, there may be just a touch of envy. Quite understandable. We are living what seems a dream for many. Mind you, that also seemed true when we owned successful small businesses. Some dream, some do.

We bought 2 sling carriers for Toby and Teddy. These are carriers designed for carrying dogs, but fit Toby and Teddy well. A different size for each, of course. Toby wears the one that was designed for small dogs, and Teddy wears the one that was designed for ... I don't know ... ponies maybe ? We take Toby and Teddy outside for walks quite often, usually carrying them cradled in our arms. These sling carriers should be more comfortable for both them and us. They seemed to be the only cats in the trade hall, although there were many dogs. They were a big hit. Toby and Teddy do the trade show !

Tonight we’re working in the trailer trying to get caught up on accounting. Our GST remittance is very over due.
