    We were watching last night. During the herding class, my dog came in and stared at the television, wagging her tail.

    Then I made the mistake on commenting how cute I thought one of the dogs was.

    She slinked over to me, pressed herself as flat to the floor as she could, then snuggled up next to me.

    I kept telling her over and over if they had a mixed breed class, she'd win, but I don't think she's buying it.

    i was covering Millrose track one year and the dog show was starting i guess the next day because in a giant room off the basement of the garden there were 5,000 barking dogs. the problem was, that was also serving as the mix zone, where we got athletes after their races. i'm sitting in the press room later writing and the guy next to me is transcribing and all he hears on his tape recorder is "arf arf arf i got a good start yap yap yap i got out quick bark bark bark i felt strong as the race went on ruff ruff ruff," etc.

    A friend of mine calls the Westminster "puppy porn."

    amen

    my aunt breeds bullmastiffs, but you can't beat a bully.

    and they always get dissed in these events. seriously, the bulldog should win every damn dog show ever. it's not even close.

  6. Uno the beagle wins!

    Good to see ... first time ever a beagle has won Westminster.

    I use to raise beagles years ago. They'll always be my favorite dogs.

    Huzzah Uno!

    Wish I had a big enough backyard for a couple of beagles. Hell, I wish I had enough yard for a proper pack of rabbit-chasing beagles.

    It seems interesting to me that the AP guy covering this was spot-on to focus on the beagle in his preview and in Monday's, um, gamer.

    He did his homework very well before the event began.

    Ms. Slappy loved the dog show, but changes the channel whenever that depressing Pedigree commercial comes on

    Beagle! Beagle!

    What a great looking dog.

    Eight more and you'd have a hell of a pack to chase rabbits, or to fly the Sopwith Camel.
