Where would you be cycling from? I think we should get a sponsorship going for Papillon

We used to use one of those for transporting our two when they were (much) smaller. If anyone wants it for 1-2 small/medium dogs (not exceeding combined weight of ~30 kg) they're welcome to it

Thanks for the heads up on that...just exchanged 1500 Piggypoints for a pass so it's Pet Expo for free this year

My mam is refusing to bring the dog from Clare to punchestown in the car so I guess I have to resign myself to fawning over everyone elses dogs instead of parading around with my girl!

Might bring my rattie boys this year! Animal people usually are okay with the rodents

SingItOut

I'd love to take moone with me this year, I couldn't last year because I wasn't sure she would be allowed on a bus.
As I don't drive I'll be taking the train up, can anybody tell me if the racecourse is near the train station or how long a taxi would take to get there?

SillyMangoX

Only a week to go, yay

BullBauld

I'm gonna bring Rufus to this on Saturday. He's at the stage though where he just wants to cock his leg and have a pee on everything so don't stand too close
Do say hello though if you see myself and my Airedale.

Need to get a few bits too....car harness etc.

Will take in Kildare Village too...they have kennels there to leave your dog in while shopping so handy that.

Looking forward to it.

Papillon!

anyone going from the city centre?

baby and crumble

I really want to go to this! I'd love to bring Isabella but she's only a little hamster and while she'd have a ball (she's very nosy and active!) I'd be terrified something would happen her! Be great to get to handle more rodents though, I really want to handle some rats, I think I want to get them next... Exciting!

You can get the train to Sallins. Think it goes from Heuston Station.

andreac

Theres a shuttle bus going from Naas too.

SillyMangoX

I think the actual station is called sallins and naas does anyone know what exit would be best from the motorway coming from the other side of the country or is punchestown sign posted?

andreac

Are you coming up from the South on the N7? If so, just take the Naas exit, not the one that has Newbridge on it. The one closer to Dublin. The one where the big round ball is at. It should be signposted Naas/Sallins as far as i know.

Just checked Google maps for you there, its def Exit 9 and its sign posted Naas/Sallins.

Papillon!

Thanks andreac. definitely going to look into this:)

Aw, pigsback sold out. Damn. Oh well, going anyway. Taking Bradley, should be interesting, will have to put him in the car for a wee while to take in the cat area, will do that last so he'll be tired out by then At 4mths all he wants to do is play with every other dog he sees, he's gonna have a ball.

Shelli2

Actually, just thinking, my lad is a GS x Collie, but very little collie showing in him. Would I have to have him muzzled if i brought him? He's nearly 5mths old, and very loving and playful, I have never yet muzzled him and don't really want to start.

Can you not get the train down and the shuttle bus?

Whispered

PARTY IN MY GAFF!

Seriously though, I think I'll head over saturday, but won't be bringing the boys. Harley will stress and I don't want to muzzle Phoe.

So I'll be there without my dogs, and I bet I'll be able to pick some of you out because of your pics on the photo thread. I'll be like a spy

Dont think they would allow the puppy on the shuttle bus, do you reckon they would?

If its a shuttle bus only for the Pet Expo Id imagine so, and Id have her carrier box. But if its a shuttle bus in general they might not
