Observations from Westminster

I parked my big butt on the couch tonight and enjoyed most of the first evening of the 133rd Westminster Kennel Club dog show from Madison Square Garden in NYC... and I have a couple of observations...

First, the fact that the same damn breeds seem to almost always win their groups is tiresome. Non-Sporting group? The Standard Poodle wins. Herding Group? The Puli (or Bob Marley dog, as I like to call it) wins. Terrier group? The Scottish Terrier wins (though I must admit... I do dig the Scotty!)

Second, much like myself, many of the dog handlers are large people... there are some big, BIG folks "running" around out there! I would think being so involved with dogs would keep one pretty active, but hey, what do I know?

Prediction for tomorrow... the damn Poodle will win the Toy group. :-[
