dogs are better than blogs

watching the Westminster Kennel Club dog show right now. The breeders that I got Rudy from... their champion dog Bad Boy won a Award of Merit in the Irish Setter breed. As far as the Sporting Group goes, an English Setter placed third, I believe. I think that will be my next Setter, an English, because they are supposed to be the most calm of the three. I would get it from a rescue place though. But I would hope it would be a younger one so I could change his name easier. it would be called Falcor of course. the striking resemblance to the luck dragon from Neverending Story. this is only because I don't think there are very many white wire haired Dachshunds, and English setters are the next closest to what I would think a dog version of the luck dragon would be.

this is Vineyards' Bad Boy (Rudy's relative):


I still want to get Rudy involved in the pet modeling thing, see what that's all about. he could definitely be in commercials or print ads. i don't know if he's got the patience for a movie role.

I went home this weekend because there was nothing to do in the city since Will went to his suburbs to visit Drew, who is now released from the hospital. I hung out with John and played Wii for hours. I finally rearranged my room at home too so that was nice. Still have some cleaning to do next time I go though. We took Rudy and Major to the vet for their kennel boarding shots so they don't get sick while we're in Hawaii. also found out that Major has a heart murmur but it doesn't seem life threatening because he has never exhibited any symptoms like shortness of breath or coughing or sluggishness. He's getting an eco-cardiogram when we get back from Hawaii. John's dog Cody has always had a heart murmur and he's been fine and going on eleven years old now so I'm not too worried at this point.

Mine and Will's anniversary tomorrow. We're supposed to get dinner and go ice skating, as long as the rain holds off.
