Tough decision
These are my favorite two days of the year, but this time there were conflicts. Olympic figure skating? Or Westminster Dog Show? Tough decision — thank goodness for DVR so I got to see both. But I had two late nights in a row!
About Westminster… gorgeous, fabulous, beautiful and exciting as usual (although the female commentator on USA got on my nerves). This year there were three new breeds: Irish Red and White Setter, Pyrenean Shepherd and Norwegian Buhund. See pictures at the Westminster site. Way cool dogs but they didn’t advance. I wonder how the veterans accept these newbies. My hunch is they are accepted with grace — we could learn a few things from our canine friends.
The best in show line-up was fabulous. I was cheering for Bru the terrific French bulldog, but the winner was the number one dog in the country — Sadie the Scottish Terrier. I loved her reaction — sincere, unbridled excitement at being recognized.
Congratulations, Sadie!
