On Westminster winner Sky (and why my heart belongs to Addi)

Several friends have brought to my attention the fact that a wire-haired fox terrier named Sky was Best in Show at the Westminster dog show (the USA's version of Crufts) this year.

We can all agree she is a spectacular looking wee lass.

Now I have been feeling a bit upset that Gail vetoed my getting involved with all the Valentine's Day business this year, with that lame "too busy at work" excuse with which many of us are so familiar.

Long time readers will know that my special sweetheart is Addi from Illinois. The most beautiful big-boned American Bulldog you ever could meet.
 Addi, I want you to know that you are still the tops.

Not for me a girl with candy floss for legs.

Can you imagine a date with Sky?

"Ew no Bertie, I cannot come with you for a rampage across a Highland bog. I need at least four more hours on the grooming table before I could possibly show my face to the world. And by the way, were you aware that the set and shape of your tail does not conform to the breed standard? Please run along and fetch my nail varnish. And I suppose you think that's funny, offering me a lift in a tank..."

    Good Lord, way too bon-bon for you Bertie, you're right. Addi is beautiful too and gotta admire a gal who is happy to play with tanks and follow you over a bog or five.

    Have a wonderful day even if you are not getting to join in the main party!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  5. hmmm you do know Sky is now retiring from showing to "just be a normal dog". He peeps said she will be snoozin on the couch, and doing lots of walkies now. Maybe that diva quality will be long gone. But we like your choice of Addi - you need a good sturdy gal

  6. Well, congratulations to Sky...and to your reflected WFT glory. But, you're right Addi is the girl for you.

    Can't believe Gail wouldn't even help you put some ♥♥ on your tank.
