I have felt pretty indifferent about taking Amy to see the new Curious George movie. After watching the music video ten zillion times, I think I would like to take her just to hear the rest of the soundtrack. I do have a Blingo ticket I've been saving for X-Men 3.

Way to go Rufus! Your personality came shining through tonight.

If I could do just one selfish and indulgent thing in my life, it would be to be in attendance at Westminster just once before I die.

I liked the Sheltie but the Old English Sheepdog is a great looking dog. Lots of maintenance and grooming, though I suspect the new Shaggy Dog movie will make this dog and Bearded Collies popular.

The herding group has won Westminster the least, but they are my favorites. They are active, intelligent, social and loyal family members.

The Deerhound shape and stride remind me of Molly. Sometimes the judges are intimidating. The hound judge looked sincerely happy to be there. Nice. A shoe manufacturer with attractive but comfortable women's shoes would make a fortune backstage at Westminster. The men all look appropriately formal, but some of the women look just clueless.

The Golden Retriever is one of my favorite breeds. They are wonderful with children. I would like to have seen more personality from the winner of the sporting group though.

“Mommy, I tooted.” “OK. Maybe I should call you Tootie.” “No. I’m Little Toot. And Daddy is Big Toot.”

OMG, please don't joke about 101 Dalmations at a dog show. There is nothing worse than people buying a dog because of a movie or television show. You have to research the breed and consider how it would fit in your family.
