For our last wedding anniversary, in October, mr. gaspode gave me tickets to the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. It was on Monday and yesterday and it was awesome. We have been before, 2 years ago (when the German shorthaired pointer won, and I totally called it), so we knew that it would be kick-ass. It was at Madison Square Garden, and on the second day, the day that Best in Show is judged, the stadium was nearly packed.

The best part about the WKC dog show is that the dogs are required to be benched and accesible to the public during the day. So even though the group judging starts at 8pm, I got there around 6 each day to go "backstage" and play with the dogs. The owners are always really nice and talk to you and let you play and pet the dogs. It's so much fun!

The photos I took are on flickr, but here's a selection.

My mind went to wondering, as it often does, just how many gallons of dog urine get pissed upon the streets of New York City on a daily basis.
