Tonight starts with the popular with Southerners, Sporting and Hound Groups. I have a lot of family in middle TN’s Natchez Trace area and it never failed to amaze me to see purebred hound dogs by the dozens living around (and under) run-down trailers. My grandparents owned Brittanys and I think it was no coincidence […]
In keeping with today’s dog theme, one of my favorite blogging storytellers.
For the most part, the handlers at Westminster dress as if they were going to a county club event. Sleek suits, beautiful skirts and sequined dresses were all seen last night and tonight they will be even more formally dressed. All very appropriate for the biggest event in dog shows, which is broadcast live on […]

Poodle breeders have done such an excellent job of refining their breed that the other breeds are disadvantaged when competing next to them. I think that instead of banning some of the well-known, aggressive terrier breeds, they should put […]
Raise your hand if you saw The Police so long ago it’s embarrassing.

Since my grandmother meets none of the criteria for assisted living, she has a personal aide 24/7. I sarcastically suggested to my mother that she […]
Westminster and Heroes on the same night? Argh!
Amy started her class Valentines today. At the rate she’s going, she should be finished in time for Valentine’s Day next year. Hopefully her “d” will improve as she goes. Noah writes a weekly newsletter at school. Last week’s issue contained the sentiment, “I hope Amy gets LOTS of candy cause our class isn’t doing […]
