I watched the Westminster Kennel Club dog show on tv over the last 2 nights. I have to say that I disagreed with the judge's pick for BIS. In fact, I didn't even think that dog (an English Springer Spaniel named "James") should have even won his group. Now don't get me wrong, James is a great dog and a worthy representative of the ESS breed. However, when I was watching the sporting group on Tuesday night I thought many of the dogs in the ring were better. I thought the Vizsla (who ended up taking group 2nd) was a truly outstanding dog and should have won the group without question.
As far as the BIS lineup went, I was rooting for the PBGV. I always root for the hound as they haven't won BIS at Westminster since 1983.... they are the underdogs for sure LOL. I also liked the Dandie Dinmont Terrier... what an amazing showdog. And although I hate to admit it as I don't like the breed, but the Toy Poodle was a real beauty. The same can be said for the Bouvier... I'm not wild about the breed but felt that particular dog was outstanding. I also liked the Akita for her balance and style. Of all the dogs in that line up I thought the Standard Poodle and the ESS were the weakest... good thing I didn't place any bets on who would win or I'd be out some major money! LOL!
Happy Valentines Day everyone :)

I tried on my wedding dress today....
And I had the strangest reaction.... ambivalence. I didn't feel any more bride-like than I did in my jeans & t-shirt. I wasn't really excited like I thought I would be. I mean, I wasn't upset or anything either. I was just.... there. Trying on a dress. It looked exactly like I thought it would. It was a wee bit snug in the hips but I expected that.
Strange that I wasn't more excited. Maybe it's because of the ladies that came with me to see it (they didn't get excited either). Or maybe it's because we are in the middle of a blizzard so it doesn't feel very weddingy right now. Or maybe it's just because I'm just not a girly-girl and I don't get excited about stuff like that. I'm not sure. But either way... it's clear to me that I need to drop the extra pounds to look awesome in the dress. Surprise! LOL. Somehow it always comes back to weight loss.
