I'm really gonna try to make it to the Portland expo, but I'll definitely be at the Renton one next Spring. That one is pretty much in my backyard :) Can't wait!

I'm planning to go, along with our budding reptile DVM at the Hospital. ;-)
He's Lizard (sometimes frog) and I'm Tortoise. Hahahah.

Anyone else? Like Ken says, lets plan a meet-n-greet! [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

Fabulous! Maybe we can coordinate a time? Gather in a certain area? I will have my iPad so I can check forum for updates here.

Less than 2 weeks away!! Right on! I can't wait. So for finding me, if y'all find the Oregon Herpetological Society table and ask any one there if they've seen Cowboy Ken, they'll be able to help you. I've a long time relationship with the organization and they all know who I is. ; )

I'm not sure if I want to go...after talking to people who've gone in the past.They say its a very long line just to get in, rarely any tortoises, and overpriced vendors with nothing really special to see.

Comments? Yea/nea?

I don't have much money left, so I hate to waste what little I have to not see any torts.

For the most what you've heard is true. I know of at least 1 vender who will have russians, pancakes and maybe a Greek or 2. Though spendy, his animals are fully acclimated and eating and internally clean. Plus he has very good follow up if you have any concerns.
For me, it's an opportunity to see old friends and meet new ones.

I like the idea of meeting new friends.

Ok, I will probably go. Recommend a good time to avoid the "rush"? I'm not really a people person, and I hate crowds. I live alot and I'm mostly a hermit. :)

Problem solved, just got a call from a professional handler (dog shows) asking if I was available to assist. I need the paycheck, so I'm headed north to dog show.

Woo hoo!! $$$$$$$$$$

Prob a good thing I can't go, because I really want another tortoise, but I don't have any money right now. I tend to buy anyway and deplete savings. LOL

I am looking at CL for potential rescues. My neighbor wants a small tortoise so I'm on the lookout for her as well. We'd prefer to rescue as not to propagate more breeding when there are plenty that need forever homes.

I will be in Seattle as well!! Dog show...my other passion.

I was thinking about "hosting" a tortoise meet-n-greet. I've heard the Critter Cabana moved all their Sulcata's to their Wilsonville store after the fire at their Newberg location.

Could we meet there, shop, visit their torts and then go have lunch?

Heading out now. I'll be there 11:30ish. You should be able to recognize me by my tattered straw cowboy hat, Karen feels I should not be wearing in public.
