Love Those Dogs
The timing was all but perfect (the Buffalo Sabres don't play again until Wednesday), and Val and I took in part one last night and will be tuned in to part two tonight. I'm talking about the 2009 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, which we watched for two hours on CNBC last night and will watch again for two hours tonight on the same network.
We have never hidden the fact that we are dog fans and maybe fanatics (Val even started a page for Walker Evans Dunne-Hosey on Dogbook, the canine version of Facebook), and every year, we watch Westminster, as well as a few other major dog shows. Personally, I enjoy the working dogs and the hounds the best, although the Great Danes are also impressive.
Of course, Walker Evans both watches the dog show and huffs at it in exasperation, because he is against the glorification of purebred dogs while blends like himself are ignored. He does give two paws-up for the dog food maker Pedigree and its advertisements featuring purebreds and blends, as well as shelter dogs, and its efforts to save them.

Sorry, we're not allowed to watch that show or even mention that word in our house!
Oh, dear; I'm sorry, Heather. It sounds like another household of relatives that will go unnamed at this moment.
