I got the cutest Christmas card from my friend Sandy in the mail yesterday – just had to share it with you. The front is the picture you see here, and the inside text reads:

National Dog Show on TV Thursday
After you watch the Macy’s parade, stay tuned to NBC for the Kennel Club of Philadelphia’s dog show. The event was actually held November 12 – 15, with unbenched shows on Thursday and Friday, followed by benched shows over the weekend. (For the uninitiated, a bench show is one where the dogs stick around throughout the day so attendees, exhibitors, and breeders can stop by to meet them. An unbenched show is one in which the dogs are allowed to leave the competition when they are done being shown.)
Over 2,000 dogs from across the country competed at the show, which was hosted by John O’Hurley of Dancing with the Stars fame (who is a dog person) and by Devid Frei, known as the dean of dog show commentators – you’ll recognize his voice when you hear him.
Results are already available online, but I don’t want to spoil the show, so I’ll just say this: the same amazing dog won ALL FOUR shows! I will post the full results on Friday.
Enjoy your turkey!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Saturday Survey: Is Your Dog an Athlete
My kids started their basketball season this week, and my youngest wanted to bring one of the dogs to practice, thinking she might be as talented as Air Bud. What about your dogs? Do they play any sports?
Halloween Costumes for Pets
Check out the Today show’s viewers’ pets all dressed up & ready to go trick-r-treating.
They also had a segment on this morning’s show of professionally done dogs – my favorite was the princess from Shrek. I can’t find these photos online yet, but they may be up on Today‘s site by the time you read this. While you’re there, see if they have the segment where Lester Holt dressed up as Susan Boyle – it’s hysterical!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Happy Halloween
Not sure where these pictures came from – they were sent to me in an e-mail. Aren’t they great?
