Oh Uno

You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.

You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you

I Love This Dog

Uno! The Best Dog in the World! here he is on the Early Show

OMG it is the most perfect dog I've ever seen too. He's sooo cute I can barely stand it

Some other thoughts on last night at Westminster:

  • I've decided I really want a long haired chihuaha- Paloma was so pretty last night
  • The Pekingese may be the ugliest dog ever
  • I didn't realize Great Danes are that chill that they could live in an apartment- that was surprising. Eva from last night was gorgeous.
  • The Samoyed was just stunning and so pure and white
  • The Tibetan mastiff from the working group had the most heart string adorable face ever
  • The Neapolitian Mastiff, which apparently was the same breed as Fang from Harry Potter, was the scariest dog ever but I liked its gait
  • The woman who judged the working dogs was so old as she went around calling them out and picking their order it was so slow but added so much drama
  • My dog could never do any of the dog show stuff- he'd go around peeing on everything and barking. He does both a lot

Westminster Dog Show- The Hounds Released

The dogs I loved in the hound competition last night

I really really like the Harrier breed

..and the 13inch beagle

…and the American FoxHound (which is maybe too big for me ) or any of those – they had like the same patterning and tri-coloring and were all so adorable but of course the best was Uno (Uno es Numero Uno) who I just wanted to dog nap but they’re all so adorable htt
I also thought the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen
was so adorable and cute and had the best name ever, though I don’t think I’d find one at the local shelter

  • Other thoughts- the wirehaired dachshund looked like it had a beard which freaked me out when I found out it was a girl dog- I don’t know why
  • The saluki is such an elegant beautiful dog- I feel like I’d have to be a Lady with a country estate and servants before I could even think about having a place worthy of it
You can see the videos of them all here

Here’s old school Conan with Trumph at the Westminster

the second installment

The Dog Lover’s Guide to the Presidential Election

Aka “What Dogs Look Like Each Candidate”

I’m afraid of what this says about the direction of the newspaper industry but it’s still bizarre enough to be entertaining, and because I know you racked your brain thinking of this very same topic.

From the Baltimore Sun (the same newspaper currently getting shredded on The Wire”)

Today the Mutts blog brings you Part One of "The Dog Lovers' Guide to the Presidential Election," a special report that asks, and answers, the question, "If the presidential candidates were dogs, what breed would they be?"

Today, we bring you the Democratic front runners. Tomorrow, in addition to wishing you a Super Tuesday, we'll unveil the Republicans. And on Wednesday, in the belief that every candidate should get his doggie due, we'll show you the lesser-knowns and also-rans.

The decisions on which breed the individual candidates most closely resemble were based both on physical appearance and personality, and the breed descriptions and behavioral characteristics that follow all come directly and without alteration from reputable sources including the American Kennel Club, the Kennel Club in London and Petplanet.co.uk.

This may even tell you who Mike Vick would support, if he actually voted
You can click on the link to learn more about the characteristics of each breed, and perhaps what the Mutts editors perceive in each respective candidate

On with the Dog Show:

Hillary Clinton – Labradoodle



Barack Obama - Great Dane



John McCain - Pug




Mitt Romney - Smooth Fox Terrier (this dog’s breed really sounds like the name of a pimp)




Mike Huckabee – Beagle (that description makes me think that my dog’s part beagle…who knew?)





Duncan Hunter - Standard Schnauzer





Alan Keyes - Standard Poodle





Fred Thompson - English Bulldog (I’ve always wanted a bulldog. I’d name him Winston)




Mike Gravel - Samoyed





Rudolph Giuliani - French Bulldog





John Edwards - Golden Retriever





Ron Paul - Welsh Corgi





Dennis Kucinich - Jack Russell Terrier
