We're For Dogs

This morning marked the kick off the 132nd annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Those of you who know me, know that I LOVE dogs, but that I also love to MOCK dog shows. Therefore the WKC dog show is must see TV. I'm DVRing it and can't wait to flip it on when I get home. If you've never seen the movie "Best in Show" you're missing out. Before you ask, it is rated PG-13, and no I'm not suggesting you rent it because I think it's got some rough spots. I saw it edited on TV after my trusted friend Christi B. recommended it and I nearly split a gut laughing! This clip is right before the dog show when this owner realizes she's lost her dog's favorite toy, the "busy bee" and is desperately going from store to store looking for a replacement. So good!



I haven't viewed dog shows the same since. But, I DO love dogs, and I love this commercial, because I too am "for dogs". So pet a pooch this week in honor of man's best friend.

To clarify, the movie is rated PG-13! And is a fave. I think that clip is my very fave! You are so good and finding good clips. This? This is a fish! Classic. You would have loved the Barkus parade in New Orleans for Mardi Gras when they dress up their humiliated pooches and parade them thru the quarter. Perhaps I'll make you a slide show.

I love that show! I saw it way back when I was in High School one night because there was nothing else playing and we were so glad we did I laughed so hard!

HAHAHA!!! Clearplay has a filter for that movie, I have already added it to our blockbuster queue! Thanks, I am always looking for a good movie! Yeah for dogs!!! Whatever happened to the dog you had in NC? Do you have one now? Are you getting one? I want a lab pup SO bad!!! I'm so glad you're still for dogs after you're run in with that one dog!

oh, and what channel is this dog show on? I've never heard of it and actually have never really watched dogs shows, but you make it sound like I'm missing out!

Kelly as much as i am against pets in the house. That really makes me want a bassett hound. I remember watching that movie while baking cookies at the old condo. I then thought I should share it with my parents and realized I had missed a lot. A lot that I would not have shared with my parents... :) OOPS!
