There's Always Next Year

Last night Dad, Lares (aka Doofus) and I sat down to watch the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Mom was working late at school so she missed it. Unfortunately Dad was not paying attention to the time so we missed the beginning of the Working Group and therefore didn't get to see the Alaskan Malamute: Ch Nanuke's Snoklassic No Boundaries or Costello as his humans call him (thanks to Cap'n Maverick for giving me the lowdown on the fancy dog name stuff) , strutting his stuff. We tuned in shortly after and got to see most of the action in this highly competitive field. Here are some pictures of me waiting for the best dog in the Working Group to come out, the Siberian Husky of course. Notice I look a little bored.

Finally, the proud moment for us Siberian Huskies, our day in the spotlight, living vicariously through our cousin: Ch Paragon's Red Red Wine, better known as Merlot. She looked great. Here are some pictures of me watching closely.

Unfortunately it wasn't meant to be for us Sibes this year. Costello did come in second. So Lares is all excited since he is part Malamute. I'll have to bring him back down to earth and remind him that he is a total doofus dog with stoopid floppy ears and isn't a real Malamute.

Oh well, there's always next year.

Later,
Althea

Horray for Costello! At least he got second (he did win Eukanuba a year or so ago). He sure is pretty, and very BIG!

I always root for the Sibes too. I'm sorry, but the Sibes and Mal's are the prettiest, and they ALWAYS get robbed! It's always some other ugly dog that wins. And it's usually some froufrou chew dog who wins best in show. Those shouldn't even count as dogs, cuz if they can be swallowd in one bite, that's a snack, not a DOG!

A stupid example of this is on Animal Planet the other night they had the Most Extreme dog breeds and the number 1 "most extreme" was a Chihuahua! Can you believe that?!?!?! How freakin extreame is an ankle biting rat looking chew toy dog? Sad I say. Just SAD.

Let those other breeds win. They need something to make them feel better about themselves when clearly Northern breeds are the best.
