Best in Show

So if you've never been to a dog show you seriously have to check one out for the pure humor! I went to a dog show in Lynden today as Conor's uncle shows his pugs. I seriously felt like i stepped right inside the set of the movie, "Best in show." I was laughing so hard on the inside but had to keep it on the inside as there is dog show ettiquette, and laughing is not it. There were people fussing like crazy over their dogs, fluffing and combing their hair, using hair spray, giving them toys to play with, and even giving them pep talks. Seriously, the whole grooming area was exactly like the movie, and did you know that there are such things as "professional handlers," and that's their full time job. One interesting thing is that most owners look like their dogs. People who have dogs with very long hair, also have long hair. If their dog is gray, their hair is gray. The type of dog really shows the personality of the person. Very interesting. But what's even more amusing than watching the owners with their dogs are the comments you hear from the "handlers," and observers. For example, i was standing with Conor when this old lady turns to her friend and says, " That is one nice looking Bitch." I couldn't help but laugh at loud this time. The lady looked at me funny and i smiled back at her. Seriously, good humor is found at dog shows. People take their dogs very seriously.....
