How bad can it get?
So there I was watching a dog show and out comes, you guessed it, a poodle. The hair stood up on the back of my neck as it pranced around and shook its fuzzy little tail. That was my number one pick for last place. No doubt it had to be last. This isn’t that poodle but you get the picture.
I am happy to say that the hounds did well and the winner was some kind of short legged spaniel that I have never seen before. I think his name was stumpy or pudgy or some other fitting name. I couldn’t believe that he won but I am glad he did. Here he is:
Now here is the best part about Stumpy winning. He was the oldest dog in the field and was 10 years old. That is 70 in dog years. Along with that, he had a brush with death a few years ago but miraculously recovered. So here is what it boils down to. The top dog for this year is a short, overweight, over 70 year old dog that most of us couldn’t name if we had to. There is hope for my future. And for those of you still wanting Change, here ya go:
Oh I almost forgot. I got an award from Carmen and here it is. Please visit her and read all about it. It is the Friendship award. Thank you so much Carmen. I like to think I am a friend to everyone.
Have a great day,
Greg

I never met a dog I didn't like(except for pitbulls on chains). Love that beagle.
I don't like poodles either, I'll give you that. :-)
p.s. Thanks for the comment today! I don't think anyone wants to pay it forward, I have only 2 takers so far...but about 100 comments from my sister. Is she funny or what.
My dad has a total pet peeve about people and their little foo foo dogs. He cracks me up, and it sounds like you might share some of his thinking.
As for change...
spare change is all we and our kids will be left with when Obama and Congress get finished.
Congrats on your award!
:-)
I read your deer post. Sounds like it was quite the experience! Well, with that said, glad you are o-kay, and glad it was you and not me:) :)~
Have a great week! Heaven
I'm with you on that black poodle...i've neve seen that much fluff before.
I was pulling for Sadie the Scottie...she was so regal yet simple...and i'm a sucker for short legs...too cute!
I loved stumpy too! What a story...didn't he look like his coat would feel like velvet...i really wanted to pet him.
i had been watching earlier in the week for some of the preliminaries..i think they chose a few that i wouldn't have chosen.
overall though, it was a good show...beat a lot of the other stuff on the telly
Ok, I'm not a big fan of poodles but THAT was a Standard Poodle. They are big dogs and actually pretty good dogs too. I kept my friend's one time when he was in the process of moving. My dog even fell in love with "the Poodle" as I used to call him.
Anyway, I'm an animal lover and that includes dogs. Funny that you decided to watch the dog show.
I like real dogs, not those fuzzy, nippy, shakes-all-over, constantly-peeing fake dogs.
Congrats on your award!
They all have there own little personalty. I saw about the winning dog on the news, So glad he got to do one last show.
have a great weekend
Loved your take on the dog show. I loved the dog that won (Ok, I love dogs) But I loved your reasoning for liking him...there's is hope for us all!
I'm not into poodles either but that colorful one is hilarious!!
You are too funny. I'd vote for you in a heartbeat if you entered a contest.
Quite annoying.
You are too funny as usual. That techni-colored pooch is too much. I like mine all pink ...just a dusting ;-)
