Westminster

Humans watch the darndest things on TV. At the end of January, my humans watched a car auction for days on end. In simplistic terms, they watched people buy used cars. How exciting can it be to watch someone wanting to spend 5 million dollars on a car that's almost 40 years old? When it's one of two, and only one surviving - Bill Cosby sold his to some yahoo who drove it into water - more money than sense?

The one that survived was Mr. Carol Shelby's personal car. And let me add - yes he is that one who makes chili seasoning - but that's not what he's known for. But, I'm not going to tell you any more, if you really want answers, you won't mind doing a little research to get them. A good place to start is http://www.barrett-jackson.com

Now, lets talk about dogs. The Komodor, who takes hours on end to dry - cute dog they are. There's also a PBGV, Joe Dimagio use to always laugh when he explained it. Westminster just isn't the same without Joe as a commentator. His love of canines and his knowledge of competitions goes unmatched.

Anyhow, for the information you've all been waiting for...the GSD's debut at Westminster was in 1908 and the only Best in Show was 1987. More information can be found at http://www.westminsterkennelclub.org

The finals will be aired tonight and tomorrow night on the USA network!! The herding group will be tomorrow night, 2/13.
