Probably the most surprising and unusual was Muffin\u2019s Halo\u2014a Guide for Blind Dogs. You put this on your blind dog and it protects him\/her from bumping into walls and other hard surfaces. What an amazing invention. I met two poodles who were wearing the Muffin\u2019s Halo\u2014one was blind and the other deaf. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.muffinshalo.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.muffinshalo.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I spoke with a man who spent the conference walking around with a litter box filled with<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1355\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1355\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1355\" src=\"http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RoadTrip-080-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RoadTrip-080-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RoadTrip-080-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RoadTrip-080-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RoadTrip-080.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1355\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA<\/p><\/div>\n<p>litter.
