through the camera’s eye
Pets on parade
The annual Blaisdell expo
includes the cute, the cuddly
and a contortionist
The Hawaii Pet Expo 2004 was held this weekend at the Blaisdell Center Exhibition Hall. Tiana Young-Mauchly, 6, sat in a wagon Saturday with a bunch of Chihuahuas. Pictured with her are Little Lady, Squirt, Simba, Precious and Sugar Bear.
Chopchop, a Pomeranian, sported a pair of goggles, designed to protect its eyes from debris and ultraviolet rays while it sticks its head out of the car window, explained owner Florence Calica.
12 of a litter of 14 New Zealand rabbits huddled together in a cage. Zac Johnson, breeder and owner of Zac's Rabbitry, said that typical litters range from six to eight rabbits and that this was the largest litter in his 20 years of business.
Skylar, a miniature Schnauzer, worked the table at the Terriers in Paradise booth on Saturday. "She's your chief terrier consultant," joked her owner, Lynn Muramaru.
Sam Moore held a blue-eyed Oriental contortionist named Grand Champion Kamu's Cool Jazz during the Parade of Cats exhibit. The Oriental comes in a wide array of coloring and has an elegant, long body, a whiplike tail and a sleek short coat.
