Ten-year-old Stella Johnson, first year participant of the show, brought in her Cairn Terrier, Quinn. She thought it went “pretty good,” though she didn’t know what to expect.

“He’s behaving well in here,” Johnson said about her dog.

Tysha Allen, 17, brought in her six-year-old cat, Midnight.

“It’s a lot of fun with good friends and good memories,” Allen said.
