The Herding Group is my personal favorite. As a child, we had a loving and sweet Sheltie. When Tommy was a baby, my mother got another Sheltie and there were many tears shed when that sweet dog was buried in the yard of the house in which we now live. My mother’s current dog is […]
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.

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.

I think that instead of banning some of the well-known, aggressive terrier breeds, they should put […]
Westminster and Heroes on the same night? Argh!
Q – When is the best time to be a television addict?

Remember when the only cartoons were on Saturday mornings and they were the best shows in the world? Do you remember Captain Kangaroo? Bozo? Electric Company?
TV Talk – I gave in to all the hype and watched the two pilot episodes of Lost this weekend. It looks like a cross between Jurassic park, Land of the Lost and Lost in Space. What do I do on Wednesday nights now? Watch Smallville or Lost? Statistically speaking, the writers are going to […]
