We're hitting the road. Well, we're hitting the airways, traveling to Orlando, Florida, for the 2012 Global Pet Expo.
Presented by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) and Pet Industry Distributors Association (PIDA), the Global Pet Expo is the pet industry's largest annual trade show.
If you're attending the show, stop by and say "Hello." We'd love to see you! With last year seeing more than 800 exhibitors and thousands of pet industry professionals, we're excited to rub shoulders with our peers, and see what else is out there for our furry, fine-feathered and scaled friends in the pet world.
We've been busying getting everything ready to show the pet world what we have to offer — so stay tuned to find out the retailers near you offering Kind Kollars.

When to get a pet?
A couple of kids in the Kind Kollars family are asking for a pet.
Because they are kids, and speak in absolutes, they keep telling me that "ALL their friends" have pets, some even two or three. The animals range from dogs and cats to fish and turtles.
With two working adults and a 4-month-old baby, it seems irresponsible to introduce an animal to our family. But when will it be a good time?
My brother had to prove his level of responsibility by taking care of rabbits before my mother let him graduate to a dog. He even built a dog house and it sat in the backyard empty for over a year.
He finally brought home a black Lab/cocker spaniel mix and named her Jeep. He was 10.
So what is a good pet to start out with for young children. Mine are 5 and 3. While my obvious choice is a fish, how is that fulfilling any sort of need that they are feeling? You can't pet a fish. You can't even hardly touch a fish. Is there a pet out there that lives in a cage but can fulfill that need to nurture?
If you have know of a great pet for small children, let us know on our Facebook wall. We'd love to hear your ideas!

Website grooming
We sent our website to the groomers over the summer. It was like a shaggy poodle who needed to be ready for the dog show — pompom tail and all.
A snip here, a buzz there, and KindKollars.com is about ready to take that blue ribbon home.
Watch out for a beautifully polished new site that is easy to use and fun to play with. And we've got a great promotion in the works for the holidays...be sure to stay tuned.

Release the hounds!
One of my favorite Super Bowl commercials was this one by Audi.
The first time I saw those beautifully groomed dogs come running through the door, I nearly dropped my chips and dip.

Best in Show
In honor of the 135th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, a little clip that brought show dogs and their owners to the masses:
Wouldn't Winky look great in a Kind Kollar? I think the "Grass is Greener" collar would go great with his fur.
The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show takes place on Feb. 14-15 in New York City. Check your local listings for television coverage of all the competitions.

What's your top breed?
The American Kennel Club came out with it's top dog breeds, and the bulldog made a big leap to No. 6. Top dog is the Labrador retreiver — my family's dog of choice — and at No. 10 is the Shih Tzu — one I've learned to love through my sister-in-law's two lovable pets.
Check out the whole article and see how your dog measures up.
