Sadie the Lady Wins

Two nights of magnificent doggi-ness … two nights of canine superb-ity … two nights of woofy glory. That’s the Westminster Kennel Club Show.

Congrats to the owner, breeder, and handler of Ch Roundtown Mercedes of Maryscott (aka “Sadie”), a Scottish terrier who finally won on her third try last night. My favorite doggie – the beagle – didn’t make it to the finals this year. He was beaten in the hound group competition by a whippet.

Unfortunately, the “live” coverage by USA Network wasn’t live at all in Hawaii, not by a longshot. The show’s West Coast feed was delayed, and Hawaii’s airing was further delayed another couple of hours. So I didn’t get to watch it live (couldn’t stay up that long in the wee small hours of Wednesday morning).

Thank God for DVR! I watched it this morning, although I knew who won Best in Show before going to bed.

I love this dog show.

Post script: PETA (the animal rights organization) is supported by some rude people. They stink. All of them – for barging into center ring during the Best In Show competition.
