First I need back up about 20 something years when as a child I was the victim of some very malicious dog behavior. One of which took me off my bike and bit my leg and another bit my face after a gentle tug to the tail. So that's just a couple of the dog stories that have made me deeply scarred by dogs and honestly haven't been the same since or much of a fan of dogs. There are really only 2 dogs I have been able to be around and not be nervous. L.T. is one of them (Jenn, Oskar is the other).
Back to the story... So here we are at the dog show surrounded by DOGS.... Little dogs, Big dogs, Fluffy Dogs, Dogs that should be called horses, you get the point. So I begin to shift my focus away from the dogs onto the type of folks with the dogs. I kind of felt left out. I was there wearing my premium denim and a t-shirt that says I Heart Cheeseburger (and instead of the word cheeseburger, there is a picture of one). So I was sad and wished I had on some sort of sweatshirt, t-shirt or sweater with a pug on it to support L.T. with a little more enthusiasm than what I had on.
Its like showing up to a USC game wearing nothing of the Trojans cardinal or gold. Also my favorite was the handlers. They are the ones that prounce around with the dogs when showing. Again little disappointed that this show took place just 4 days after Halloween because that would've been the best costume ever... Mismatched suit with very dark nylons, socks and sneakers... I don't normally use that word sneaker but it works with them.
Needless to say, L.T. takes after his pug rents and won first place in his puppy class. I am such a proud Godpug Mother but will most likely not be attending another dog show.

All I can say is, FABULOUS! That ws the best show and your blog definitely allows the rest of the world access to the twisted world of dog shows!
As a person who has been to a few dog shows myself. I know exactly how you feel. Everywhere you look, you see people with the best "dog"gone outfits around. People really get into it. It's definitely an experience that every person should experience at least once in their lifetime.
great story! I love it when the owners and dogs actually kinda look alike :) it's so weird
After the Queen's comment I will now be cutting my hair and dying it some color other than brown :)
Pickle, perhaps you only like LT and Oskar because they are tiny and like to lick your feet? Well at least Oskar does... :)
Leaky, why have you been to a few dog shows? You don't have a dog...at least not that I know of...
JennAnn When the baby of the family (me) grew up and ran away... the father and step-mother got a couple of dogs that they went and showed a few times, I went for some strange reason for which I don't recall at the moment. That and I know a few other people with dogs that have shown them... thus, Leaky at a few dog shows..
Yes, apparantly I need to die my hair yellow/orange. That would be interesting.
I have always been "a kitty type person" too :)
