Stump!

As some may know I am very interested in the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show from Madison Square Garden.

This year's winner was a surprise to me. I rated the Giant Schnauzer and the Brussels Griffon higher than the Sussex Spaniel.

Stump is the oldest dog to ever win Best In Show!

1. I just watched it. A good looking dog.

I was a big fan of last year's champ Uno, but then I'm partial to beagles.

11. I agree. I was surprised they picked a topiary dog in 2002.

I thought the workin' dogs that helped with the Sept. 11th rescue would generate a more blue collar winner.

4. Go old dogs!

I have a 12 year old boxer/bulldog mix. I love older dogs. I don't care for show dog mentalities, but the Westminster is cool. I've watched it every year since I was a kid..except this one (out of the country). Used to watch it with my dad.

8. The Starbucks couple is the best...

I can't remember the exact quote, but essentially "I was at one Starbucks and I saw him coming out of the Starbucks across the street." Priceless.
I love that movie.

10. and to think he almost died.......was in the hospital for 19 days

Texas A & M is where I think I read......

Stump's illness in 2004 - "He had a bacterial infection that took them 19 days to figure out. And now he's good," Sommer said.
