Westminster

Can you believe it??  This is the winner of the 2009 Westminster Dog Show which just concluded:

This is Stump, a Sussex Spaniel called out of retirement at 10 years old to suffer humiliation at the whims of its owner and handlers.  Poor animal probably lives in a crate and then has to perform on demand.

Real dogs don't do the Westminster Kennel Club.  We do real things, like growling:

And of course, pirating:

So next time you think about dog shows, remember there's show dogs and real dogs.  After all, I was an unwanted stray from Ohio and my crate's a Canine Pirate Ship.  I wouldn't trade the Nargle for all the "best of breeds" in NYC.  Besides, why weren't there any Sharpradors entered??

Love you all,
