Yep, it nears - the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden. Mid-February.  Do not know if I can again take two 12-13 hour sessions back to back, with four or five hours sleep in between, especially with lots of critters at home to feed and care for.  Whew. That is rough. But fun! Maybe will go only to the last day, but at 8 AM! We shall see! |

Hound Group: American Foxhound
Toy Group: Affenspinscher
Non-Sporting Group: Bichon Frise
Herding Group: Old English Sheepdog
To me, not the best of line-ups. As of right now I'm only rooting for the American Foxhound. The Bichon is cool, but they've won it already and the Bobtail is okay. The Affenspinscher is so ugly that I will never root for him.
Well let's see what tomorrow brings! My Best in Show dog is sleeping on the bed. That's what I should be doing....sleeping. Night.

A horrible line-up, but at least it was better last years...sort of. I was rooting for the American Foxhound, Bichon Frise (a bit but they won already), and the Smooth Fox Terrier. The Old English Sheepdog was young, so that would've been cool if he won.
Drum roll please.....the Affenspinscher won Best in Show. What a big disappointment, in my opinion at least. So congrats to Banana Joe.
Slightly getting sick of Westminster picking ugly breeds, but it's not about beauty for these shows. But I'm really hoping next year will be better.
