Thanks for the heads up Scuds.. I try to watch it every year...Always fun. My favorite class is the working dogs.. Love Boarder Collies.

Remember a few years back that one dog got lost? I wonder if they ever found it...It was like a favorite to win it too...

I always dreamed of me and my Cocker Spaniel giving this show a try. Envision this -

and here is Curt with Brandi, a Cocker Spaniel. Oh wait, we need a clean up as it seems Brandi has done a number one. Oh wait, Brandi has done a number two and is turning circles.

The smartest dog I've ever had was a Springer Spaniel mix.

I prefer big happy dogs

i thought the golden retriever was fabulous, but they took the sussex instead.
i thought that best in show group was one of the worst ever, but what do i know?

at least that poodle didn't win.

I think the Golden Retriever was the best tonite. I don't particularly enjoy the breed (all that much) but, if one of those was ever gunna win, it should of been tonite. Yes, Zig, the most you can usually hope for is to keep them damn poodles from winning. I took care of somebody's little poodle until he died at age 18. It was sad. It's always sad, but he was kind of an a-s-s hole. Better him than the others.

If I get a bigger dog, it's probably gunna be a Boxer. People rave about those Anatolian Sheperds, but I don't know that much about them.

I was ready to complete a palm clap
and trump that with a polite "splendid",
but I restrained myself.

However, I did dab the corners of my mouth
very politely with a cloth napkin after finishing
a delightful sorbet rounding out my 5 course meal.

Man I need to pee somewhere.

no harm meant about the show, I just think they are a bit stuffy. Reminds me of horse shows my wife was in that bored the crap out of me.
