Welcome to our live blog coverage of the National Dog Show telecast. Although the actual show was put on by the Philadelphia Kennel Club a few weekends ago, mum’s the word on who won. So, if your TV is getting its annual football workout today, or if you’re stuck in the kitchen with no TV, check here often, and we’ll post the results of each Group as they are announced.
First up: Let loose the hounds! All 31 breeds of them!
May your stuffing be tasty,
May your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes and gravy
have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious,
May your pies take the prize,
May your Thanksgiving dinner
stay off of your thighs.
Happy Turkey Day to all of you dog lovers out there!
Stop back later in the day for live blog posts from the National Dog Show (starting at noon Eastern) and from Fox’s Cause for Paws All-Star Dog Spectacular, starting at 8 pm Eastern.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
