We got to spend back to back weekends with amazing dogs who I am sure all go to heaven. Two week ago we got to see the 150th Westminster Dog Show and last week we went to Meet the Breeds sponsored by the AKC. Meet the Breeds is more low key than Westminster. You can pet the dogs, speak with the breeders, ask questions and generally have a fun time. It gets very crowded and is filled with lots and lots of children, strollers and noise. That said – we enjoyed ourselves immensely and surely will return next year. Woof!

We attended the 150th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show last Monday. We got to see the Hound, Toy, Non-sporting and Herding groups. As far as I was concerned they were all Best in Show. If you have never been to one of these events I encourage you to go. It is a feast for the eyes. Not only are the dogs sensational but the handlers were a sight to behold as well. Their outfits complete with sequins and sparkles are so much fun. Their dedication is a marvel. They are also eager to engage you in conversation about how they got there, what it takes to spend the entire day there and of course their opinions about NYC are both outrageous and funny. We had a ball.

We attended the Westminster Dog Show once again. We like the Benching area the best. You can schmooze with the handlers, the owners, the judges and of course the adorable pooches. I did not get a photo of Monty the Giant Schnauzer who won Best in Show but all of the contenders were winners to me. I especially am fond of the dog at the bottom of today’s photo montage. That’s my boy, Mr Pepe, who is always a good boy and Best in Show to me. Woof!
