Good Doggie

The state of Maine will have 14 dogs participating in the 131st Westminster Kennel Club Dog show (today and tomorrow with live coverage on USA network from 8-11 pm tonight and tomorrow night), including Patrick a black standard poodle from Phippsburg and Higgins, the Welsh Corgi from Dover-Foxcroft, ME.

The kennel club invites the top five dogs in each breed and then fills in the rest of the slots with other dogs who have been named champion.

There's a blog for the show and you can find breed information here.

I've promised Mac that I'll make him a nice peanut butter kong and let him stay up late to watch.
