My life as a retired show dog and now-retired reading therapy dog but all around good boy.

Walks and sleep

It's been a long, cold, windy winter. It seems all I do is sleep, and go for walks.

Sigh.

Westminster is tonight - root for Spinone

So tonight's the big night at the Westminster Kennel Club's big event in New York City. The Sporting Dogs -- my group -- take the ring here in an hour or so... and I'll be watching the studly roan winner of the Spinone group, Ch Ercole Del Caos. Help me root for him over on the USA Network tonight. Here's hoping for a group win, or at least a top four finish.

Meanwhile, while we wait for it to start, I like what the WKC says about my fello spinoni: "The Spinone is a versatile hunting dog of ancient heritage, with origins in Northern Italy. The Spinone is a large, rugged dog of distinctive appearance, with a hard textured, weather resistant coat, longer eyebrows, beard, and mustache, and eyes described as human-like."

You know you love us....

UPDATE: The Sussex Spaniel wins the Sporting Group. I'm going to go sleep on the bed now.

Puppy Bowl? No

So my people are lounging around eating prodigious amounts of junk food and they won't share. What's worse, Puppy Bowl V is on and they're making me watch those football teams. I want to watch the puppies! Woof. Ugh.
