Well, when I posted that, I'd only had the tv on for 45 seconds.

lester holt is a fucking dumbass. why'd he have to follow me to nyc from chicago?

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 03:53 (twenty years ago)

Me and my wife went yesterday foir Valentine's Day (we were given tickets by a friend of hers...). First time at Madison Sq - it's a soulless hole of a place. Maybe less so in other environments. Anyway, the dog show sucked, the people sucked, the groomers sucked. It was boring as hell. There were some good looking fogs, but that's the whole point...They all looked identically perfect, bored and overtrained.

― paulhw (paulhw), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 20:30 (twenty years ago)

NOBODY ELSE IS WATCHING THIS? goddamn you people are lame!

OMG JW WELSH CORGIS!!!!!

yay the border collie won the herding group!

that charlsie woman creeps me out, but she's not as annoying now as she is when broadcasting horse races.

okay, so i'm talking to myself again. great.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 03:21 (twenty years ago)

I'm sure it's a great show... for me to poop on!

Does this mean we'll get another priceless Triumph at the Westminster Dog Show piece on Conan this week?

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 03:27 (twenty years ago)

No, I never miss this. But I hate all of the little hairy dogs. I never like the winners.

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 04:26 (twenty years ago)

i didn't like the pointer. it was obviously graceful, well-mannered, etc., but it was BUTT FUGLY. not to mention i just have an irrational dislike of dogs with pointy noses.

i really wanted the bloodhound to win. what a beautiful dog.

― stockholm cindy's secret childhood (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

the norfolk terrier was adorable too.

― stockholm cindy's secret childhood (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 16:04 (twenty years ago)

What a great dog.

if you're thinking of getting one...

"Negative Characteristics: Bloodhounds shed a lot, drool and slob a lot and have a distinctive hound odor. They can be destructive when bored or not exercised enough which they usually express in chewing and baying. Most do best as indoor/outdoor dogs; note, however, that this is not the breed for people obsessed with cleanliness in the house."

― stockholm cindy's secret childhood (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 16:41 (twenty years ago)

german short hair pointers are my favorite dogs in the world. :-D

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

that bloodhound is great. i don't agree that the pointer is ugly, i love the color. i like pointer dogs in general, my dad has a brittany spaniel which has a similar body type.

ESCAPE!! good luck catching a whippet, PA.

Westminster Dog Still On The Loose At JFK
Port Authority Police Have Been Searching Since Noon
(AP) QUEENS A dog that won an award in this week's Westminster Kennel Club show escaped from its cage at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Wednesday and was believed to be on the loose in the surrounding area, authorities said.

The dog, a whippet, broke free at about noon, said Tiffany Townsend, a spokeswoman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs area airports.

Port Authority police were working with its owners to search the area where planes arrive and depart, she said.

"They're looking every possible place they can to see if they can locate the dog," Townsend said.

She said she didn't know where the dog's cage had been when it escaped or where its owners had been heading. The airport, in Queens, covers more than 4,900 acres.

Barbara Nyby, a member of the American Whippet Club in California, said the dog was Bohem C'est La Vie, known as Vivy, though that spelling could not be confirmed. The dog won an award of merit at Westminster, the nation's most prestigious dog show.

The dog's owners were listed as Jil Walton and Paul Lepiane, of Ojai, Calif.

The dog had been booked on a Delta Air Lines Inc. flight. Atlanta-based Delta said it was working with local authorities to retrieve the animal.

More than 2,600 dogs were entered in this year's show at Madison Square Garden, including 25 whippets, a short-haired athletic dog similar to a greyhound. Best in Show went to Rufus, a colored bull terrier with an egg-shaped head.

Gah!! Those are so great.

I watched last night and was so mad that TWO UGLY POODLES got won best in their group. I can't believe there are people out there that like those stupid coiffed rats. Grrrrrr.

Favorite Dogs in Order of Preference:

1. Pug
2. French Bulldog
3. Brussels Griffon
4. Whatever that big fluffy one is that you just posted. CUTE!

― ENBB, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 14:02 (seventeen years ago)

got won? hmmmm. need coffee.

― ENBB, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 14:02 (seventeen years ago)

beagle FTW

― DG, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 14:03 (seventeen years ago)

The beagle did win! He was cute but kind of . . . boring? I don't know.

― ENBB, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 14:13 (seventeen years ago)

standard poodles are the best! they don't normally have those haircuts, and they're extremely intelligent, friendly, and athletic. also, unlike some dogs mentioned by enbb, they don't drool and snort and they can breathe properly.

the beagle really seemded like a bow to the crowd. he was very handsome, but i was really rooting for the akita or the standard. absolutely magnificent dogs.

― lauren, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 14:25 (seventeen years ago)

seemded? what a typo. seemed, obviously.

― lauren, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 14:26 (seventeen years ago)

Hmmmm, truth be told I've never actually met a standard poodle so maybe I'd change my mind if I did. I will say that I've never met a drooling pug and the snorting is part of their charm!

― ENBB, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 14:42 (seventeen years ago)

pugs are very cute, it's true!

― lauren, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 14:55 (seventeen years ago)

i just hate the bad rep poodles have because the show haircut is so silly. they're among the smartest of dogs and are all-around great pets.
