bow wow ow yippee yo yippee yay

so last night i watched the best parts of the westminster dog show....the toy and working dog categories...plus best in show. there are so many i want! i love loved the pomeranian...little lion was cute as a button, and the st. bernard...i bet he would get along splendidly with bernice. as i watched the show...i noticed something.....something that unified the show....ugly legs. and worse than that, ugly legs coupled with tragic shoes. worse than that still, ugly legs, tragic shoes, and walmart skirt suits! ick. as i watched more and more wide-calfed women in nursing shoes trot with their dogs, i wondered...why?! can someone please tell me is it a requirement to wear a cheap skirt suit that hits the leg at that oh-so-unflattering length on everyone? mum and i wondered...maybe its like how when you go to wimbledon, tradition says you wear white....when you are a dog handler at the westminster, you must make sure you look as hideous from your waist down as you possible...tradition...tradition! (insert fiddler on the roof soundtrack)

or maybe they just want to make the dog look so amazing so they try to make themselves look horrible...i mean i understand the logic of wearing flats when prancing around in front of judges, but come on! i have some fab flats...that i know would really flatter on tv. i even have gone so far as to search the westminster website in hopes that i would find a posting explaining a strict uniform guide for the handlers...but no. in fact i only found more disturbing news...a message board discussion asking where the lady handlers get their "smart skirt suits with the pleats in them"...i need to take a moment.

well in the end the beagle one - uno...a real cutie, but seriously there were about four dogs in the toy category i wanted! um hello could you even get mad at a pomeranian...whos name mind you is razzle dazzel? oh my ...love love.

ps. the yorkie was cute, but even on three legs bernice could have taken her!
