The only reason I’m commenting on the Westminster Kennel Show is because a beagle won.
Actually, I’m not even excited that a beagle won but am more excited because the
- winner, a prize-winning, trained animal acted just like
- my beagle, a barely-certified-for-the-TOUCH-program, (see Support Dogs link on right) forgot-all-her-training animal

Note the similarities between the one in the video—a prize-winning, trained animal that won an “exclusive” event—and my dog:
- barks adorably (some would say excessively) when excited
- pulls on leash
- can’t stop sniffing
- only cares about the food
- looks only at the person with the food
- doesn’t obey and stay
- jumps on somebody (!)
- tries to wander away
- shakes self off for no apparent reason
Really, the similarities are uncanny.
